FOUNDER OF BESLAN CITY – BESLAN TULATOV

Marzoev, Islam-Bek T.
Kavkaz Forum. 2020. Issue 1.
Abstract:
The process of integration of the Caucasian peoples into a single Russian
judicial-administrative and socio-economic system of statehood was one of
the most relevant in the Russian Empire in the first half and middle of the XIXth
century. For its implementation, the government of the state was undertaking
both administrative, socio-cultural and economic measures. An important
component of this process was the sphere of economical and rational land use.
Mountain feudal lords were endowed with land ownership on the foothill plain. In
the first half of the XIXth century, many Ossetian feudal lords with their relatives
and subservient peasants began to move from the mountains to the flat lands
allocated to them by the Russian administration in the Caucasus. The formation
of one of the large Ossetian villages on the plain is associated with the name of the
Tagaur Aldar, Lieutenant Beslan-Hadji Surkhaovich Tulatov (1793–1864).
This study examines the pedigree of Beslan Tulatov, who came from the
privileged class of the Tagaur Society of North Ossetia - the Tagaur Aldar. His fate is
inextricably linked with the Russian army. For his courage, zeal and participation
in various kinds of expeditions, he was awarded several orders and medals, and in
1834 promoted to ensign, which gave him the rights of a hereditary nobleman. The
data on the service and merits to the Russian government of other representatives
of this branch of the Tulatovs family is also given. Particular attention is paid to
marriages concluded by the Tulatovs with the Ossetian and Kabardian aristocracy.
The materials of the article significantly supplement the history of North
Ossetia in the first half of the XIXth century, and also contribute to deeper and
more updated study of the genealogy of the privileged stratum of the Tagaur
Society of North Ossetia – of the Tagaur Aldars.
Keywords: North Caucasus, Ossetia, feudalism, military intelligentsia, genealogy, aristocracy.
