Learning the Ethnic History of Peoples of North Caucasus Objectively

Abstract

The article is devoted to an important scientific problem – publicizing of modern approaches to origin of the people of the North Caucasus and problems of elaboration of its unbiased interpretation. Ethnogenesis of the local people during the Post-Soviet period became field of activity not only for the academic scientists, but also those who are fond of "parascience", "folk-histori", i. e. authors who do not own scientific methods of a research, but apply for discoveries in the field of ethnogenesis of North Caucasians. They seek to remove origin of the autochthonic people of the region from "prestigious ancestors" - the people which created civilizations of the Ancient East, Scythians, Alan, etc. The versions of ethnogenesis which are put forward by "parahistorians" time serve as justification of la of emergence of so-called repressive myths who destabilize the situation in subjects of the North Caucasus, leading to outflow of the Russian-speaking population out of borders of the region. Paying attention to the harm done by fantasy versions of ethnogenesis to business of international communication, the author at the same time pays attention that the necessary criticism of works of "parahistorians" has to be strictly scientific and objective within "The ethical code of the caucasiologist". Only educating and defending scientific approaches, showing variety of polietnichny history of the North Caucasus, discrediting any national exclusiveness in cultural and historical process, experts are historians, philologists, etc. – can influence improvement of a situation in the region and education of younger generations in the spirit of international respect.
