Abstract

Abstract : This article outlines the main events and introduces the political options considered by North Caucasians during the first phase of the North Caucasians' Russian Revolution, from March 1917 until the temporary eclipse of this first round of Caucasian self-government approximately one year later. The article analyses the North Caucasian outcome, compares it with cases in other Russian borderlands and Russia proper, and suggests how Caucasian visions of revolution can contribute to the characterization of a Central Eurasian age of revolution, world war, and civil war.
