OSSETIAN-PERSIAN SOCIAL-POLITICAL RELATIONS AND KINSHIP IN THE XIX — EARLY XXth CENTURIES

Marzoev, Islam-Bek T.
Kavkaz Forum. 2020. Issue 2.
Abstract:
The relevance of the study of historical and cultural relations between the
peoples of Ossetia and Iran today is largely due to the historical development of
the relationship of these ethnic groups over the past centuries. The chronological
framework covers the period from the XIXth century to the beginning of the XXth
century — the time of active interaction between Ossetia and Persia. The main
attention is paid to the analysis of socio-political, economic and ethno-cultural
contacts that developed during the specified chronological period between
representatives of the Ossetian and Iranian peoples. To achieve the stated
goal, we used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis: historicalgenetic,
descriptive-narrative, historical-comparative, historical-typological,
comparative-historical and historical-biographical methods. As a result of the
study, the following conclusion is made: during the period under review, Ossetia,
which occupied a strategically important geographical position in the Caucasus,
was involved in the sphere of political and economic interests of the Persian state
in the region. As a rule, the main and active participants in interethnic interaction
are ethnic elites. The national elite of Ossetia in relations with Persia also played
a leading role, which resulted in close political and economic contacts, as well as
marriages concluded during the study period by Ossetian privileged surnames
with Persian subjects. The work synthesizes materials obtained from historical
documents, works of folklore and genealogical sources.
Keywords: North Caucasus, Ossetia, Iran, politics, genealogy, aristocracy
