		The main occupation of the Daghestan Jews is agriculture; but little of the land is owned by them, it being usually rented of their Mohammedan neighbors, to whom they pay their rent in produce, usually tobacco.
		The Jews of Daghestan are noted for their hospitality; and they still retain the old Hebrew custom of washing the feet of strangers who visit them, this duty being performed by the women.
		There is a tradition among the Jews of Daghestan that they are the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes; but the history of their wanderings is now forgotten, the written documents which they once possessed having in the course of time been either lost or destroyed.

	The Impact of Instability in Chechnya on Daghestan
		The inflow of refugees into Daghestan had reached 144,500 mostly accommodated by local families in Khasavyurt, Novolak and Kazbek region in the lowland region of Daghestan bordering Chechnya.1 The shared grief encouraged cross-ethnic solidarity among the peoples of the region, which was reinforced also by the tactics and behavior of the Russian federal troops there.
		In Daghestan Wahhabis became visible on the scene in early 1990s, mainly in rural areas.17 Wahhabi ideas were mostly articulated by the young men who sought support within Dagestani youth.

	Daghestan Rugs
		A characteristic design in Daghestans presents, upon a field of rather light blue, a central oblong, set transversely, and flanked, at either end of the rug, by elongated octagons of old ivory, bound about with bands of red, which extend from the oblong.
		These three main figures are divided and sub-divided according to the Daghestan method, into multicolored geometrical shapes, the edges of all of which are trimmed with the inevitable latch-hook.
		Usually there are four rows of knots in the solid selvage at the ends, from which the fringe grows out, but not infrequently the warp and the dyed weft are woven together in a broad web after the fashion which the Turkomans learned in their wild home on the plateaus of Central Asia.

	Daghestan: A sign of Russia's break-up?
		Unlike Chechnya, Daghestan is made up of more than 30 language and ethnic groups in the Caucasus mountains and steppes along the Caspian Sea, and has been the scene of increasing border violence with Chechnya in recent months.
		However, it is understood that a long and inconclusive war—in Daghestan or Chechnya—can be used as a pretext to declare a state of emergency and thus cancel both parliamentary and presidential elections, due in December 1999 and mid-2000, respectively.
		The Daghestan fighting seems to be the biggest domestic challenge to the Kremlin since the war with Chechnya, said Prof.

	Moscow keeps wary eye on Daghestan, by Alexei Malashenko
		In this context, Daghestan is a key republic, both because it serves as a base for the army and because the widening of troubles in this little republic would signify an acceleration of the region’s disintegration.
		Daghestan (which means "mountain country") is the largest and most populous of Russia’s constituent republics of the North Caucasus.
		In Daghestan people realise full well that unification with Chechnya would at best mean a redistribution of power and material benefits in two quite poor entities, and at worst, the establishment of Chechen control over Daghestan.

		The article of Daghestan's constitution stipulating that members of one and the same ethnic group may not serve two successive terms as State Council chairman was abolished in 1998 to permit Magomedov, who is a Dargin, to be reelected.
		Even though violence and political assassinations in Daghestan are by no means a recent phenomenon, the incidence of such attacks has risen sharply over the past 18 months, from 40 in the whole of 2003 to 40 in the first six months of 2004 and 80 in the first six months of 2005.
		Widespread destabilization and the concomitant breakdown of law and order in Daghestan could fuel a resurgence of irredentism among the Lezgins of Daghestan, who in the early 1990s campaigned for the creation of a separate republic on their traditional territory, which straddles the frontier between Daghestan and Azerbaijan.

		On the basis of both historical or cultural considerations, one might argue that Daghestan is the most Islamic -- or even the most religious -- subject of the Russian Federation and, probably, the one in which religion plays the most significant political role.
		Islam, which appeared in Daghestan as early as the eighth century, emerged as a political factor in the course of Caucasian wars of the 19th century.
		In the mid 1990s, a Lak from Daghestan, Nadir Khachilaev, became the leader of the Islamic Alliance of Russia, as well as a deputy in the State Duma and a representative of Muslims at the highest levels of Russian power.

		Their departure would leave the Avars, who are the largest single ethnic group in Daghestan, outnumbered by the Chechens in Novolak by a factor of 3:1 -- a ratio that Mammayev fears might impel the Chechen leadership to ask for Novolak to be returned to the Chechen Republic.
		Meanwhile, some representatives of another of Daghestan's ethnic groups, the Lezgins, plan to campaign for the incorporation of those regions of southern Daghestan that constitute part of their ancestral homeland to be transferred to the Azerbaijan Republic, zerkalo.az reported on 26 January.

		Daghestan, "The Land of Mountains," lies in Southern Russia at a point where the high ranges of the Caucasus most closely approach the western shore of the Caspian Sea.
		The mountain ridges never completely sever the long narrow Caspian littoral plain, however, and it is this thin ribbon of flat land that has formed a vital corridor from time immemorial between the Eurasian steppes to the north and the inviting lands of the Near East to the South.
		Apart from the shattered remains of numerous vessels of local Kura-Araxes ware, the floor of Room 4 yielded a variety of small disc-shaped beads made from carnelian, paste, and shell (from the adjacent beaches of the Caspian).

		The vegetal decoration surrounding the central figure resembles that found on fourteenth- and fifteenth-century tombstones of the town of Kubachi, presently in the republic of Daghestan in the Caucasus.
		This attribution is supported by the "cloud" collar that covers the rider's chest, which became fashionable after the arrival of the Mongols in the area and was popular in the fifteenth century.
		In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, between the Ilkhanid and the Timurid periods, this dynasty ruled over a large area in Russia, including the province of Daghestan on the north shore of the Caspian Sea.

	ETHNICITY AND CONFLICT IN THE CAUCASUS(4)
		Initially, and still in the 1920's, Kumyks were the most advanced national group in Daghestan, and their language served as the 'lingua franca' for all highlanders, so that to be fluent in Kumyk meant to be sophisticated, advantaged and prepared for social mobility.
		So in Daghestan, just as in the territories immediately West of it, it may be expected that the cleavage between the multi-ethnic, detribalized, partly de-ethnicized urban areas and the tradition-oriented, largely self-supporting, agricultural and pastoral communities in the isolated highlands will be aggrevated in the future.
		A person in Highland Daghestan would call himself Inkhoqwari in his own or neighborly village, a Khvarshin in a more remoted village, would probably prefer to pretend to be an Avar in Makhach-Kala (the capital of Daghestan), and just say 'I am a Daghestani' when he comes to Moscow.
