"Local History" as a Popular Genre of Historical Research in the Caucasus

Creating a true and objective picture of the historical development of any country is impossible without identifying and studying the characteristics and uniqueness of its various regions. Thus, the study of "Local history" (regional history) is one of the ways to deepen the understanding of historical processes and to identify regional differentiation within the framework of a single historical process in Dagestan, the Caucasus and in the broader framework.

Bobrovnikov writes, "the historical ethnography of Dagestan's villages has made a significant contribution to the development of community theory in the Caucasus and in the world" [1, p. 5
