metadata.value: The article examines the process of the spread of Islam in Tsunta, i. e., in the southwestern
  part of Highland Dagestan, which is now part of the Tsuntinsky district of the Republic of
  Dagestan. By the end of the XV Century Tsunta was the only micro-region in Dagestan whose
  inhabitants did not yet adhere to Islam. The study is based on a comprehensive approach to the
  issue: the authors use information from epigraphic monuments, narratives, already published
  written sources, as well as oral traditions recorded by them. The latter are used only as an
  auxiliary source, which helps to bring additional facts to the reconstructed picture. The basic
  sources are local Arabic-language written sources, epitaphs of memorial monuments and written
  correspondence of representatives of the spiritual and political elite of Dagestan with the
  rural societies of mountain Dagestan. The former were identified by the authors in the Kortan
  locality, located in the Antsukh Gorge, Tlyaratinsky district. During the archaeographic expedition
  the authors also identified three Arabic-language letters, which contain answers to
  some key questions related to the topic under study. One of them, as it turned out, had already
  been previously published, but the authors offer their own version of the translation, as well as
  publish a copy of the letter for the first time. The other two letters are being researched for the
  first time. The authors have managed to identify a previously little-known phenomenon of the
  functioning of the Ghazi center in medieval Dagestan. From Kortan, with the involvement of
  volunteers from other settlements, military campaigns were organized against “pagan” communities
  that did not want to convert to Islam. From there, Qadis and other representatives
  of the Islamic clergy were appointed to Tsunta to carry out missionary work on the spot. We
  were also able to date the process of the spread of Islam in Tsunta, which took place from the
  end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century.
