Abstract:

The history of the construction of the Sunni Mosque in Vladikavkaz still attracts the attention of researchers due to the remaining documentary coverage of some of the specific details of this process and its conditions. The Sunni Mosque itself is a kind of «visiting-card» of the city, which draws special attention to it in the context of the implementation of the general state program for the development of the tourist cluster in the region. The current situation determines the relevance of the problem under consideration. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the involvement of original sources, previously unknown to specialists, in the analysis. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to introduce into scientific circulation the identified documents from the funds of the National Museum of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The study used the methods of textual and chronological analysis of sources, inductive and logical analysis based on the principle of historicism and systematic presentation. The revealed documents are contracts for the construction of the mosque. Their content allows us to establish that the mosque was initially built as a mosque of the Kazan Tatar Society of Vladikavkaz. However, the ethnic circle of people who were directly involved in the history of the construction of the Sunni Mosque was wider. In addition, for almost the first time in the urban planning history of the city, persons who directly carried out the construction itself, who had a high practical level of providing engineering support for work and material resources, are being identified. The question of the author of the mosque project has not received its final decision, and the previously proposed candidates for this role raise doubts or reasonable denial. Certain control over the construction was carried out in the person of a representative of the Construction Department of the Regional Administration of the Terek Region, who, due to his official duties, presented detailed construction drawings. The involvement of the philanthropist M.M. Mukhtarov in the construction occurred at its final stage.
