Caucasian Educational District (1848–1917): A Review of Modern Historiography; Кавказский учебный округ (1848–1917 гг.): обзор современной историографии

This historiographical review is devoted to the Caucasian Educational District in the pre-revolutionary period. In total, 63 titles of works found by search queries on the website of the electronic scientific library were used in the work (eLIBRARY.RU), which were published between 1993 and 2023. 46 publications were published in Russian, and 17 in English. The methodological tools of our research are based on the historical and genetic method, which allows us to consider the evolution of the historiography of the public education system and identify problem areas, that is, where the interest of researchers was most insignificant. The authors came to the following conclusions: 1. The historiography on public education in the territory of the Caucasian Educational District is extensive, it touches on both private issues, for example, the history of specific educational institutions or the organization of the educational process, and the topic of public education, which claims to be generalized (fundamental). 2. The degree of study of different regions of the Caucasian Educational District varies and can vary from one to five papers. Let's name the Kara region as the first example, and the Kuban and Dagestan regions as the second. 3. Almost all the works (63 titles) presented in the review were carried out by representatives of local scientific centers that specialize, among other things, in the history of the Caucasus. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
