  • Challenges Facing the Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus
    Radvanyi.fm Page 157 Wednesday, March 14, 2007 9:46 AM Challenges Facing the Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus Jean Radvanyi and Shakhmardan S. Muduyev1 Abstract: Two geographers report on the current challenges facing the inhabitants of the Caucasus mountains on the borders of Russia and its southern neighbors, Georgia and Azerbaijan. The authors discuss the impacts of new post-Soviet borders and controls as well as unresolved conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Chechnya, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and the Prigorodnyy district of North Ossetia, which have disrupted traditional ways of life and forced the peoples of the mountains to migrate or adjust their economic activities. Based on extensive field work in 2005–2006, and in the 1990s, they detect some signs of improvement in the new privatized environment after the difficult years of transition. However, the weak infrastructure of the region, combined with the high costs associated with development and modernization of peripheral locations, suggest that resettlement from the high mountains to the cities on the plains and piedmont is likely to continue.

  • Family Traditionalism and Age-Specific Nuptiality Patterns: What Does the Example of Karachay-Cherkessia Point To?
    FAMILY TRADITIONALISM AND AGE-SPECIFIC NUPTIALITY PATTERNS: WHAT DOES THE EXAMPLE OF KARACHAY-CHERKESSIA POINT TO? KONSTANTIN KAZENIN The paper deals with the relation between traditional family norms and women’s age at first marriage. The study is based on data from Karachay-Cherkessia, a republic of the North Caucasus (Russia), and uses results of a survey among women of reproductive ages conducted there in 2018. It has been demonstrated that traditional family norms, including those empowering elder generations and limiting women’s social role to housework and bringing up children, are rather strong in that region. It is currently assumed that these norms generally correlate with women’s younger age at first marriage. However, our analysis of the data from Karachay-Cherkessia, which used proportional hazard models and logistic regressions, does not fit this assumption. Specifically, it turns out that precisely that ethnic group of Karachay-Cherkessia which shows a higher concentration of traditional family norms also demonstrates a statistically significant tendency towards women’s older age at first marriage. Thus the relation between traditional family norms and the timing of marriage appears to vary more across different societies than is supposed. The consequences of this result for the study of demographic transformations taking place in different countries and regions together with the breakdown of traditional family norms are discussed. Key words: North Caucasus, nuptiality, age at marriage, traditional family norms, gender asymmetries. 1. INTRODUCTION The article is devoted to the relationship between the characteristics of the family structure and the age parameters of demographic events. We focus on those characteristics of the family structure which are usually assumed under the concept of “traditional family”, meaning, first of all, family norms that reinforce the authority of the older generation over the younger and limit the woman’s role to raising children and to housework.

    2014 – Karachai People “But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them. In those days... one nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress.” 2Chron.15: 4-6 “But when He (the Holy Spirit) comes, He will convict the world of sin and righteousness and judgment.” John 16:8 “.... I came that you might have life, life in all its fullness.” John 10:10 Over the past 600 years the Karachai people have experienced life much like a grape placed in a wine press. Formerly part of the once mighty Alan Empire (nominally Christian), the Karachai were defeated in the 14th Century and forcibly converted to Islam by the Turko-Mongol invader Timur. Conquered again in the 19th Century by Russian czarist imperialism, the Karachai people are all too familiar with distress brought about by defeat at the hands of invading nations. During World War II they were swallowed up by the German advance through the Caucasus, only to be re-conquered by Stalin’s Soviets shortly thereafter. Due to their “acceptance” of German rule, Stalin then deported the Karachai--numbering roughly 80,000 at the time--from their Caucasus homeland to remote parts of Central Asia 1943-1957. Despite 35 percent of their population dying during the forced relocation, many Karachai have returned to their homeland and have begun repopulating their home area in the Russian province of Karachai-Cherkessia. Now numbering approximately 220,000, the Karachai of the Russian North Caucasus have preserved much of their heritage due to their Islamic cultural identity and their clan-organized communities, called Tukhum.

  • North Caucasus: the Russian Gordian Knot Abbreviations: N.O
    Theses 1. North Caucasus is the most instable part of the Russian Federation: since the early 90’s, the- re has been going on the military conflict in Che- chnya, which is gradually spilling over into the other republics of the region, terrorism seems to have occupied its regular position in the political life of Caucasus, organised crime is flourishing, the tension persists there and military incidents and attacks are breaking out every now and again.
