Abstract

The article analyzes the Soviet government policy toward the resettlement of, and land management among, several groups of Mountain Jews at the Mozdok and Stepnovsky districts of the Terek region of the North Caucasus area. The goals and objectives (economic and political) are identified, as well as the stages of these resettlement activities in the 1920s – early 1930s. The origin and quantitative composition of a number of groups of Mountain Jews actively involved in resettlement by various government and other structures throughout the territory of the Terek District are revealed. The study made it possible to establish the significant role of the regional branches of the Society for Land Settlement of Jewish Workers and the Committee for Land Settlement of Jewish Workers in the processes of development by Mountain Jews of the plots of land allocated to them in the Terek region. Based on the results of the study, the group composition (origin, etc.) of Mountain Jews who participated in the creation of (mono)Jewish settlements in the North Caucasus area has been significantly clarified.
