The formation of North Caucasian historiography in the 20-30s of the XX century: from the first works on the history of science to the organization of scientific centers

In the historiography of the 20-30s of the XX century, the problem of the development of scientific centers, as well as the formation of scientific intelligentsia in the regions, began to take shape as an independent direction. In the North Caucasus, this problem was organically connected with the study of the natural productive forces of national regions and with the tasks of their economic development, which was determined by the course of the Soviet power. During these years, the first publications on the history of the organization of scientific research in the region began to be published. The scientific centers established in the North Caucasus planned their work on the basis of maximum connection with the economic, commercial and cultural needs of the national regions. The prospective plans of research institutes included topics that were most relevant to the practice of socialist construction in the national regions during the period under study.
