The Caucasian component in the population dynamics of the European north and the Komi Republic

The work deals with the history of the formation of the multinational population of the Komi Republic and, specifically, the appearance of representatives of the peoples of the Caucasus on the territory of the republic. Based on the data from the National Archives of the Komi Republic and the results of Russian population censuses of 1897-2021, statistical material on the role of individual ethnic groups in the formation of the population during voluntary and forced migrations is provided. The main attention is paid to representatives of the Caucasian peoples. It is noted that the peoples of the Caucasus took an indirect part in the development and settling of the Komi Republic.
