Abstract
The article deals with the problems associated with state construction on the territory of the former Caucasian viceroyalty of the Russian Empire in 1918-1921. The analysis of state formations is given according to several criteria by which one or another new formation on the territory of the Russian Caucasus could or could not be considered a state. Based on the results of a brief study, conclusions are drawn that some of the limitrophe could be called states, and some did not fit this definition well enough. The emphasis is on insufficient internal resources to build a full-fledged state. It is pointed out that the new statehood could not exist without decisive external support, initially from the German and The Ottoman Empire, and then Great Britain. Ultimately, it is concluded that the external side, in this case Great Britain, was not sufficiently interested in preserving and merging the new statehood in the Caucasus, unlike the same situation in the Baltic States.
