The problem of repatriation of Circassian immigrants from the Ottoman empire in the second half of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries in the documents of the archives of Russia and Georgia.

The documents analyzed in the article are classified into 2 types – office documentation and regulatory legal acts. Documents of the 1st type are divided into 2 groups depending on the departments of their compilation and functions. The 1st group includes documents of diplomatic correspondence: official letters, reports and dispatches of Russian ambassadors in the Ottoman Empire to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire and Russian consuls and vice-consuls in the regions of the Ottoman Empire to Russian ambassadors in Constantinople; official letters and dispatches of Russian consuls and vice-consuls to the Chief of the General Staff of the Caucasian Army. They contain information about the immigration process of Circassians to the Ottoman Empire and the appearance of a problem of their repatriation. The 2nd group includes documents drawn up by military officials in the Caucasus: instructions from the Main Directorate of the Viceroy of the Caucasus to lower-ranking commanders of subdivisions, heads of regions and territories, instructions from the Commander-in-chief of civil authority in the Caucasus to governors-general and heads of regions and districts of the Caucasus region, etc., reports of the military officials to higher levels, attitudes between departments of the empire. According to these documents, at the beginning of 1861, military officials in the Caucasus drew up instructions to their subordinates, which contained rules regarding North Caucasian repatriates. Similar documents were accepted by tsarist officials in the Caucasus and at the beginning of the 20th century.
