On the origins of North Ossetia's statehood (to the 100th anniversary of the statehood of North Ossetia-Alania)

Abstract

The article examines the origins of the statehood of North Ossetia, which became the Terek Soviet Republic and the Mountain Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which is convincingly substantiated by relevant historical material. It is argued that the Constitution and the bodies of state power provided for in it – representative, executive and judicial, as well as local authorities are the most important elements of statehood, so they became the subject of research. It is noted that based on the example of past and current foreign policy of the United States and Western countries, it becomes obvious that nothing has changed in their extremely negative and selfish attitude towards Russia. At the end of the article, another conclusion is made: these republics have become a kind of “educational and practical aid” for the peoples of the North Caucasus in their desire to have their own national forms of statehood.
