The article highlights the activities of K.S.Gardanov in the field of the Ossetian language studies. His creative collaboration with the prominent Russian scientist V. F. Miller in the study of the language, Ethnography and folklore of the Ossetians is being considered. Special importance is attached to Gardanov’s assistance to Miller in creating his manuscript of the collection "Digor tales according to the records of Digorians I.T. Sobiev, K.S. Gardanov and S.A. Tukkaev, with translation and notes by Vsev. Miller", published in 1902, in "Papers on Oriental Studies published in the Lazarev Institute of Oriental languages". Particular emphasis is placed on six folklore materials (Narts’ tales, historical tales, fairy tales) submitted by Gardanov for this collection. Analysis of the scientific activities of Gardanov, one of the nine founders and an active member of Ossetic Historical and Philological Society is conducted. His article "On the high altitude climate stations and the mineral springs of the North Ossetian Autonomous Region", is reviewed as the first work on balneology in North Ossetia in the Soviet period, where the author gave deep analysis of the famous mineral springs Ossetia and advocated the use of Tsey glacier in treating tuberculosis patients. Gardanov’s leading role in founding the Soviet health care pattern in North Ossetia is being discussed, as well as his work as a head of the Health Department of the Revolutionary Committee of the Vladikavkaz district, which tackled the issues of medical care, epidemics of cholera, smallpox, malaria, and tuberculosis and venereal diseases. Gardanov did much in establishing midwifery schools in Vladikavkaz, which were meant to provide training for persons of the indigenous nationality. Of special significance is his contribution to the preparation for publication of three volumes of "Ossetian-Russian-German Dictionary" by Miller (1927, 1929, 1934). The article makes extensive use of the letters Gardanov wrote to Miller.

Keywords: K.S. Gardanov, V.F. Miller, folklore, Narts’ legends, doctor, medical and sanitary department, mineral springs.
