metadata.value: This article considers models of the professional arrangement of North Caucasian émigrés in France
  in the 1920s and 1930s. Using new archival and field ethnographic materials, we explore the social and political
  activities of North Caucasians as a profession and as a view of life; and the activities of the Caucasian group of oil
  owners (leader — Nobel), who before the Revolution were engaged in oil production in the Caucasus or owned
  shares of oil firms. France had the most cars in Europe for the 1920s and 1930s. Therefore, it was not surprising
  that many emigrants from Russia, including North Caucasians, began working as chauffeurs, taxi drivers, and
  auto mechanics. In addition, they often became employees of auto factories (e. g. as specialists and laborers).
  Since there were many military people among North Caucasian émigrés, many they decided to join the French
  Foreign Legion. Emigrants from the North Caucasus pursued publishing, literary, journalistic, scientific, and
  teaching activities. In Russia many North Caucasians received a legal education but could not work as lawyers
  in France. Medical activity was also rare. In emigration there were several North Caucasians who became artists,
  singers, and dancers who performed in restaurants opened by North Caucasians. The children of the first wave
  of North Caucasian emigrants, as a rule, received higher education in France, and many of them managed to
  obtain excellent careers.
