Ossetian history and culture across the Caucasus and worldwide diasporas
"Ossetians"
The book is dedicated to the Ossetians, a people who speak one of the languages of the Iranian group of the Indo—European language family and live in the very center of the Caucasus, on both sides of the Main Caucasian Ridge: in the Republic of North Ossetia — Alania (Russian Federation) and the Republic of South Ossetia, as well as in other regions of Russia and the world.
The book contains information about the natural and geographical habitat of Ossetians, their ethnogenesis and ethnic history, economic activity, material and spiritual culture. The author's team highlights issues that reveal the specifics of the social and family life of the people, calendar holidays and rituals, folk beliefs. Special attention is paid to the richness of folklore heritage, folk crafts and art, traditions of upbringing and socionormative culture. The nature and direction of socio-cultural processes in modern Ossetian society are analyzed, characteristics of Ossetian diasporas in the world are given, and an overview of political events in Ossetia at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries is presented.
