Over the comparatively short period, since the beginning of 1860 to 1917, the Russian autocracy changed direction and principles of its policy in the North Caucasus several times. Identification and analysis of the prerequisites, reasons and factors that have had a significant influence on such fluctuation of the government policy in the region, are one of the priority themes in the study of the political history of the Caucasus in the Russian Empire in the late XIX – early XX century. The article analyzes the main directions of the administrative and political activities of the government in the North Caucasus. The author analyzes the political course of the Caucasian administration and relationships between the Caucasian vice-regent and local authorities in the Terek area.

Keywords: Caucasian vice-regency, Terek area, I.I. Vorontsov-Dashkov, City Council, G.V. Baev, reforms, government.
