Abstract

This review critically examines the 2021 English-language publication “Dagestan, history, ethnography, identity” by Doctor of Historical Sciences M.M. Magomedkhanov (Russia) and Robert Chenciner (Great Britain). Notably, this monograph represents a pioneering effort within Russian historiography to systematically analyze the long-term social trends shaping contemporary Dagestani identity, tracing their influence from the Middle Ages to the present. The authors’ discourse employs the methodological framework of the systems approach, a perspective with established roots in Russian historical scholarship since the latter half of the 20th century.
