metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of modern Russian historiography of slavery in the Caucasus.
  The author comes to the conclusion that despite a heightened attention to local and
  individual cases, the works describing Caucasian slavery in general are rather few, and they
  have appeared relatively. Therefore, there is no unified comprehensive picture of slavery in the
  Caucasus, and even evaluation of its cruelty can differ dramatically. The first part of the article
  introduces terminological definition of Caucasian slavery and clarifies the context in which it
  should be studied. It shows that researchers usually don’t define the very concept of “slavery”,
  which leads to serious distortions: sometimes only one of the types of Caucasian slavery is
  termed “slavery”, whereas others are ignored; sometimes various forms of dependence are
  blended under one definition of “slavery”, etc. The author suggests that the term should be
  defined in the researches to avoid serious distortions of terminological and conceptual nature.
  As a context for the study of slavery, the author proposes using the history of the Black Sea
  slave trade locus. Russian influence in the region became predominant in the 19th century, and
  the main forms of Caucasian slavery were shaped under social conditions completely atypical
  of Russia. The very approach to slavery characteristic of the Caucasus was based on Mediterranean
  Islamic practices and cannot be properly understood outside of them. Finally, only
  in consideration of the relative mildness of certain forms of Mediterranean slavery can some
  Caucasian customs, such as selling one’s children into slavery, be understood.
