Abstract:
One of the spheres of multifaceted activities of the prominent state and public figure of Ossetia
Georgy (Gappo) Vasilyevich Baev was Christian education, which, in his opinion, lay in the
development of the Ossetian language and Ossetian writing, in the publication of liturgical, scientific
and educational literature in the Ossetian language, in the formation of the national periodical
press. Baev’s merits in these fields of the cultural life of Ossetia are noted. His activity as a censor of
the religious and educational magazine in Ossetian «Chyryston tsard» («Christian life»), Secretary
and Chairman of the society for the dissemination of education and technical information among
the mountaineers of the Terek region, one of the organizers of the Ossetian publishing society «IR»
is considered. Special attention is paid to the reissue of the Holy gospel in the Ossetian language in a
new edition, the publication of A. Kubalov’s poem «Æfhærdty Hæsanæ» and the collection of poems
by K. L. Khetagurov «Iron fændyr», the publication of the newspaper in the Ossetian language. His
contribution to the collection and publication of oral folk art of Ossetians is shown. Russian scholar

practical assistance from G. Baev. Attention is focused on the active participation of Baev in the
life of the Orthodox Church, assistance in the repairing and construction of Orthodox churches and
schools. It is concluded that his active work on Christian education in Ossetia left a deep mark in the
history of Ossetian Orthodoxy, contributed to the development of national culture and the formation
of self-consciousness of Ossetians.
