Topic: Tabasarans


  
  NUPI - Centre for Russian Studies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Before the Russian Revolution, the Tabasarans were generally classified as Lezgins, together with various other ethnic groups of the highlands southwest of the Caspian Sea like Lezgins proper, Aguls and Rutuls.
Tabasarans and other peoples rebelled, and in 1921, the Dagestan autonomous soviet republic was established as an ethnic subdivision of the larger republic.
Efforts at russification of the Tabasaran population, and at sovietizing their economy, increased poverty and strengthened anti-Russian sentiments.

  Derbent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Azeris are the main ethnic group, followed by Lezgins and Tabasarans.
The city is built near the western shores of the Caspian Sea, south of the river Rubas, on the slopes of the Tabasaran mountains (part of the Bigger Caucasus range).
Derbent is well served by transportation, with its own harbour, a railway going south to Baku, and the Baku to Rostov-on-Don road.

 The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
While the population of the Tabasaran district is ethnically homogeneous, half of the population of the Khiv district are Lezgis.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Tabasaran region was subordinated to two feudal domains: southern or Upper Tabasaran was ruled by the maisum and northern or Lower Tabasaran by the gadi.
Most Tabasarans, however, still live in their ancient region where the people are united by a common economy and language.

 Tabasarans Economy
The Tabasarans have internal and external trade relations that were established long ago.
Being the immediate neighbors of Derbent, the Tabasarans early on were drawn into external trade relations with other peoples of Daghestan, Transcaucasia, and the Near East.
In traditional Tabasaran society, many forms of landownership—feudal, peasant-private, communal, and ecclesiastical—prevailed; the feudal pattern was formerly predominant.

 Russia - Minority Peoples and Their Territories
Besides its Russian population (9.2 percent of the total in 1989), Dagestan is home to an estimated thirty ethnic groups and eighty nationalities, who speak Caucasian, Iranian, and Turkic languages and account for more than 80 percent of the population.
The Tabasarans, who live in southern Dagestan, are strongly influenced by the more numerous Lezgins, although folk practices such as vendettas persist.
The steppe-dwelling Nogay of Dagestan, the second Turkic group in the republic, are descendents of one of two Nogay hordes of the Middle Ages; the second and larger group settled to the west, in Stavropol' Territory, and speaks a different language.
