Abstract

In recent decades, there has been an active penetration of the so-called «pure Islam» into the national republics of the North Caucasus, which has led to a confrontation with Sufi Islam, traditional for this region. In this regard, the article analyzes the processes of transformation of the North Caucasian society that are currently being observed due to the displacement of the population from villages to cities, which, according to the authors, entails the destruction of traditional society. The paper substantiates the relationship between the processes of Islami- zation and transformation of modern North Caucasian society. This problem is relevant, since civil confrontation in this region may threaten the integrity of the Russian Federation. The object of the study is the political and legal transformation of traditional society in the North Caucasus. The subject of the study is Islam as a factor of the political-right transformation of traditional society on the example of the national republics of the North Caucasus. The purpose of the study is to determine the nature of the relationship between the political and legal transformation of North Caucasian society and its Islamization. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the authors have set the following tasks:1) to analyze the current state of North Caucasian society in connection with the observed trends of transition from a traditional society to a modern one; 2) to identify the potential of Islam as a factor of modernization of the traditional North Caucasian society and ensuring its stability
