metadata.value: The Russian Empire sought to finally solve the problem of integrating the Caucasus into the national
  political and legal space. The socio–political crisis of the Caucasian region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
  was provoked by declining efficiency of regional management. The centralization of administrative practices
  slowed integration of the Caucasus into the Empire, replacing living activity with a dead form. The restoration of
  the Caucasian vicegerency in 1905 was an extreme step. The institution of the governorship, with its autonomy
  and independence, was nothing short of fleeing the Empire for the sake of empire. The transformations carried
  out in extreme conditions returned the trust of the population and the status of mentor to the Russian authorities.
  However, many problems of modernizing the region were not fully resolved, which contributed to an increase of
  the potential for conflict and centrifugal tendencies. One of the most acute problems of judicial and administrative
  organization was the activity of mountain courts. The Senate revision of the Tiflis Court of Justice of 1910 revealed
  a gap between the highland courts and the all-Russian institutes of legal proceedings, working on the basis of
  judicial charters on November 20, 1864. Opinions on the harmfulness of the mountain courts and their delineation
  of highlanders from other imperial subjects was divided among members of the audit, and the ranks of the local
  administration. Using archival documents, the article illustrates the problem of reorganizing legal proceedings in
  the southern outskirts of the Russian state.
