Plen kak faktor vzrosleniya

Abstract

The article is devoted to the fate of mountain children who found themselves in Russian captivity after the storming of rebellious villages. As a rule, children were left with their parents, who also found themselves in captivity. But there were orphans who were left without parents. When such children found themselves in the hands of Russian troops, their fate was decided at the legislative level. These legislative norms were first formulated at the level of the highest decrees in 1840 and subsequently repeatedly corrected. According to these norms, girls and boys who were orphaned were placed either in military cantonist schools or in a Moscow Orphanage. The main goal of this policy was not only to save children, but also their cultural and social adaptation. As archival documents show, this was a very short-term experience, which was abandoned in the second half of the 1850s.
