HISTORY
Chochiev G.V. The role of the cimmerians and scythians in the destruction of the state of urartu
DOI 10.46698/y5072-1082-5193-w
Abstract. The Cimmerians and Scythians who, starting from the first half of the VIII century BC, migrated in large numbers from the Northern Black Sea region to Western Asia, played a significant and controversial role in the fate of many peoples of the region. The Urartian kingdom was subjected to very intense pressure from these steppe horse nomads. If the struggle with the Cimmerians had severe but transient consequences for him, then the military activity of the Scythians at the turn of the VII–VI centuries BC turned out to be fatal for the Urartian statehood. This article briefly traces the stages of the relationship between Urartu and the nomads and provides some data from modern Turkish archeology in Eastern Anatolia, indicating the destruction of the main Urartian fortresses in the area of Lake Van by the Scythians.
Keywords: Cimmerians, Scythians, Urartu, migration, archaeological data.

Bitsoti B.B. Borders and status of Ossetia in the notes of Jackob Reineggs
DOI 10.46698/r8562-7010-1650-o
Abstract. The article analyzes information about Ossetia, its borders and status reported by the famous German traveler, doctor and diplomat of the 18th century Jacob Reineggs. Descriptions of Ossetia contain two main works of Reineggs on the Caucasus, the earlier of which is a note about the Kartli-Kakhetian kingdom, published in the scientific collection of academician Peter Simon Pallas, is of particular interest. This source fell out of sight of historians who wrote about the period of the XVIII century, primarily due to the lack of translation into Russian. It is exactly in this note that Reineggs marks the borders of the Kartli-Kakhetian kingdom with the Ossetians. Reineggs’ testimony also allows you to get a more detailed picture of the status of Ossetia in this period.
Keywords: Ossetia in the XVIII century, the borders of Ossetia, religion of ossetians, the Treaty of Georgievsk, Jakob Reineggs, Catherine the Great, Heraclius II.

BOOK REVIEWS
Narozhnyi E.I. G.V. Vladimirov about the time, ways and conditions of distribution of earrings in the form of a question mark in Balkans
Abstract. The review analyzes two monographs by the Bulgarian scientist G.V. Vladimirov, devoted to the study of earrings in the form of a question mark. Both books contain such decorations not only from the territory of Bulgaria, but also from neighboring states: Serbia, Macedonia, the Republic of Kosovo, etc. Rejecting the early medieval genesis of such decorations, the author in some cases does not exclude their introduction by the Alans of the North Caucasus or Cumans, in others - spread through the Golden Horde. In our opinion, the latter option is the most realistic and is supported by other artifacts of Golden Horde origin cited in the book - mirrors, locks in the form of horses, coins, etc.
Keywords: Balkans, the Golden Horde, the North Caucasus, jewelry, earrings in the form of a question mark, the Alans and the Nedzalash burial ground in Hungary.
