Abstract:
In the history of the Iranian population, who settled in the North Caucasus
since the second half of the 19th century, there are still little-known pages and
controversial issues, including the activities of Persian vice-consulates in the
region, to which this article is devoted. The relevance of the research topic is
determined by the important role of the Persian vice-consuls in the processes of
adaptation of the Iranians to the economy, legislation and culture of the «host»
societies of the North Caucasus. In addition to their direct duties, they performed
the functions of informal leaders, on whom the level of incorporation of the
Iranians into the economic, social and cultural space of the region, on the one
hand, and the preservation of the traditional way of life, ethnic identity, on the
other, depended. In the hands of the Vice-Consul, the mechanisms of all individual
and collective adaptive practices of the Iranian community were concentrated.
However, despite the key role of vice-consuls, the organization of their activities
has not yet received due research attention. The purpose of this article is to restore
the chronology of the activities of vice-consuls, the appointment system, personal
characteristics and to determine the role in the organization of diaspora life in
the territory of the spread of their influence, which included Vladikavkaz, Petrovsk
and the entire Dagestan region. The study presented in this article is based on
Russian and Iranian sources, the analysis of which made it possible to revise the
date of foundation of the vice-consulate in Vladikavkaz, to identify the names of
unknown vice-consuls, to correct the mistakes made in the chronology of their
activities, to trace the dynamics in the appointment regulations, to assess the
contribution of individual Iranian leaders to the life of Iranian communities.
