Description
Summary:Autonomous Region, the problem of administrative-territorial delimitation from the Mountain ASSR is crucial. The administrative-territorial process was described by contradictions regarding the ownership of both individual parts of territories and entire settlements. Conducted by the Center until the mid-1920s, resolutions containing various forms of resolving ethnic-territorial contradictions were based on the principle of redistribution of the all-mountain land fund. Here, this meant the need for significant territorial concessions from Kabarda. This circumstance was an important factor that determined the national-political positioning not only of the Kabardian people but also of the Kabardian part of the Soviet leadership of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Region. In cases that concerned the solution of the ethnic territorial demarcation problems with neighboring peoples, the leadership of Kabardino-Balkaria allowed itself a very tough position in relation to the policy of the Soviet government. The published documents and materials make it possible to understand that the establishment of administrative-territorial boundaries was not an “external” formal support for the process of formation of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Region, but its essential aspect. In the eyes of the peoples of Kabardino-Balkaria and the elite groups representing them, some or other solutions to ethnic territorial problems created the essence and meaning of autonomy.
