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 conclusion that the works describing Caucasian slavery in general
  are rather few, and they began to appear relatively recently (although there are many on private
  and local subjects of Caucasian slavery). Therefore, there is no unified picture of slavery
  in the Caucasus, and even assessments of its cruelty can differ dramatically. The second part
  of the article concerns social practices and periodization of Caucasian slavery. The article reveals
  that the spread of slavery and slave trade, perceived as a moral norm, formed new social
  practices, such as upbringing of beautiful girls as slaves, formation of a special institution of
  intermediaries in the exchange or ransom of captives, etc. Today such practices may seem
  noble or monstrous, but in reality, they have always been socio-economically justified. As for
  the periodization of the Caucasian slavery, the author clarified the concept of A. A. Cherkasov,
  V. G. Ivantsov, M. Shmigel and S. N. Bratanovskii, in accordance with which three periods of
  development of slavery in the Caucasus are distinguished: “insignificant development” (4th–
  15th centuries), “flourishing” (16th–18th centuries) and “fading” (19th century). This concept
  stands out for its objectivity and lack of politicization, but lacks clear criteria for identifying
  periods. The article shows that Caucasian slaves were a majority in some significant markets
  (Trebizond, Genoa) already in the 15th century, and prerequisites for the extinction of slavery
  in the Caucasus in its previous forms began to take shape from the 18th century.
