To the Issue of the Pedagogical Periodicals on the Territory of the Caucasian Educational District in 1867–1916

The article is devoted to a historiographical review of the periodicals on pedagogy published in the Caucasian educational district of the Russian Empire in 1867-1916: these are the "Tsirkulyar po Upravleniyu glavnogo inspektora uchebnykh zavedenii na Kavkaze i Zakavkaz'e" (Tiflis), "Circular on the Administration of the Caucasian Educational District" (Tiflis), "Shkola i zhizn'" (Tiflis), "Nuzhdy vospitaniya" (Vladikavkaz), "Kavkazskaya shkola" (Tiflis), "Razumnaya kinematografiya i naglyadnye posobiya" (Ekaterinodar), etc.However, they were published for a very short time and often were focused on commercialization.Given the short circulation period, we can assume that the publication did not achieve commercial success.Some of them had a pronounced political component (for example, "Zapiski Tsentral'nogo soveta roditel'skikh kruzhkov", Baku), which predetermined their short life.At the same time, there were also semi-official publications: for example, "Kubanskaya shkola" (Ekaterinodar), which was published by the Kuban Directorate of Public Schools and distributed in the network of relevant institutions.As the main research methods there were used the historical-systemic, historical-genetic, as well as the method of historiographical analysis.The authors come to the conclusion that nine pedagogical periodicals were published in the Caucasian educational district at different times.Some of them were focused on commercialization (for example, "Razumnaya kinematografiya i naglyadnye posobiya", "Kavkazskaya shkola", etc.), the other was semiofficial, that is, it was published by state bodies (the educational directorate of the region) and distributed among subordinate institutions free of charge, for example "Tsirkulyar po Upravleniyu glavnogo inspektora uchebnykh zavedenii na Kavkaze i Zakavkaz'e", "Tsirkulyar po Upravleniyu Kavkazskim uchebnym okrugom", the journal "Kubanskaya shkola".
