Izvestia SOIGSI. 2020. IIS 35 (74).
Abstract:
This work is dedicated to the founder of circus horse riding, the famous Ossetian rider
Agube K. Gudsow. The article presents both well-known and newly discovered facts of a difficult and
interesting biography of this famous circus artist. Having left on European tour in 1908, he no longer
returned to Russia. Having chosen England as his new place of residence, Gudsow performed a lot
in different countries and also became the author of the book «The Princess Biaslant. A Caucasian
Story», first published in London in 1926. The reader is offered the first translation of the book into
Russian, accompanied by a preface by R. B. Cunninghame Graham and comments by the author and
translator. The «Caucasian Story» offered to readers is of literary and historiographic interest. It will
also be useful in studying the ethnography and traditional culture of the peoples of the Caucasus, the
norms of behavior and etiquette of the Christian and Muslim population of the region.
Keywords: Agube Gudsow, R. B. Cunninghame Graham, Ossetia, Caucasus, Saniba, Oni, horse riding, fairy tale.
