metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the issue of various national groups’ fleeing from the territory of Circassia
  in the period of 1792–1799. The reasons behind the motives for escaping among some representatives
  of the local population are identified as well as the circumstances of the captivity
  of non-locals and periods of their staying in captivity or slavery. The attention is paid to the
  study of the gender composition of the refugees, as well as their social backgrounds. Primary
  sources include the materials of surveying fugitives from the territory of Circassia collected by
  the office of the Cossack army of the Black Sea during the period of 1792–1799. The methodological
  basis for the historical and demographic study was the principles of objectivity and
  historicism, suggesting an unbiased approach to the analysis of the studied issues; critical evaluation
  of the sources; analysis of various factors leading to judgements; presenting the most
  complete picture of the escape of different categories of people from the territory of Circassia.
  The authors conclude that the first documented cases of the Circassians’ capturing of people
  on the Russian territory date back to 1780. During the 1780s, this process increased. Since
  1792, the office of the Cossack army of the Black Sea had begun to register refugees from the
  territory of Zakuban. In the period between 1792 and 1799, according to the available data,
  258 people ran away from the territory of Circassia. In terms of ethnic background, 99 people
  were Russians, 97 — the Nogais, 22 — Greeks, 20 — Armenians. Other nationalities were even
  less represented. Thus, the practice of the capturing people on the Russian territory by the
  Circassians had existed long before the beginning of the Caucasian war.
