Abstract:
The idea of forming a single community of “Soviet people”, voiced at the XXII Congress of
the CPSU in 1961, set before the humanitarian science the task of theoretical justification for the
formation of a “new type of historical community”. The ethno-cultural diversity of the peoples of
the country seemed to be an obstacle in solving this strategic task, so the issues of unification of
ethnic identity, culture, everyday life and spiritual values appeared on the scientific agenda. This
article presents a historiographical review of the works of North Caucasian scientists of 1960-
1980, which made it possible to determine the impact of the state national policy of the country
on the regional humanities. It is revealed that the main trends of the North Caucasian segment
of the Soviet historiography were criticism of the remnants of the past, outdated traditions,
justification of the need for a new Soviet ritual culture and practical recommendations for its
implementation. Work on the task was poorly combined with other, really important for science
problems of national culture and self-consciousness, interethnic relations. At the same time, the
North Caucasian scholars, taking active part in discussions about ethnic definitions of “nation”,
“tradition”, “custom”, “rite” and others, were not limited to propaganda and agitation. In the
conditions of inconsistent national policy, they equally inconsistently and contradictory discussed
the ratio of national and international in culture, developed models of “synthetic tradition”
that would combine national forms with socialist content. At the same time, they expressed
rather bold thoughts about excesses in the fight against traditional culture, about the artificial
rupture of the connection of times and obstacles to the development of cultural heritage, about
the historical conditionality, dynamism and mobility of tradition. The conclusion is made about
the negative influence of the ideological press on the humanities, in particular, on ethnology and
on the obvious, but not fully realized potential of the Caucasian scientists.
