The Caspian Sea is the largest inland water body in the world, its history records evolution of global and regional climate, glacial-interglacial events in the East European Plain and mountainous regions of the Caucasus, Elbrus and Pamir-Alay, and represents a unique object for understanding the evolution of the natural environment and developing regional stratigraphic and paleogeographic schemes in Northern Eurasia. The Caspian Sea played significance role in the migrations of cultural interactions of ancient human populations in the adjacent territories, adding another reason for geoarchaeological studies and reconstruction of history of the basin. This article in the form of a brief review describes the history of the Caspian Sea evolution during the Pleistocene and Holocene, its unresolved or controversial issues, and, as a contribution to solving existing problems, presents articles published in a special issue. The articles are based on the materials of the All-Russian Conference “The Caspian Sea in the Pleistocene and Holocene: Evolution of the Natural Environment and Humans” (Volgograd, 2023), dedicated to the memory of Professor Alexander Adamovich Svitoch (1932–2022), one of the leading experts in Quaternary geology and paleogeography, whose significant contribution to the development of the theoretical foundations of paleogeography, the study of the history of the natural environment of Northern Eurasia entered the annals of Soviet and Russian geology and geography. A special issue of the journal “Geomorphology and Paleogeography” is dedicated to the memory of A.A. Svitoch.
