Abstract
In the article, the author examines the foundations of the traditional legal culture of the peoples of the Caucasus, on the example of the legal culture of the Ossetians, regulated by the norms of customary law. According to the author, its components are legal awareness and social behavior, which is formed and regulated by the norms of customary law. Among them, the author refers to such customs as the veneration of elders, atalychestvo, hospitality, respect for a woman, mutual assistance, blood feud. It is argued that most of these customs took place among other peoples, but the Ossetians, taking into account their more than four-language closed existence and life activity in extremely harsh mountain conditions, acquired their own characteristics. The work provides evidence, the statement of researchers – travelers about the immutability of the implementation of the norms of ordinary Ossetian law and the inevitability of responsibility for their violation. Logical, historical, comparative-legal, functional research methods are used.
