Abstract
The article reveals the content of the scientific and teaching activities of the prominent Caucasian scholar M.A. Polievktov (1872-1942) at Tbilisi State University in 1920-1930. Based on archival materials, first introduced into scientific circulation, the author analyzes the little-studied aspects of the scientific biography of M.A. Polievktov. For the first time, the author widely uses the meeting records of the Department of the History of the USSR Peoples for 1934-1940, earlier documents on the work of a scientist at Tbilisi State University, and archival materials from the personal fund of M.A. Polievktov characterizing scientific and pedagogical activity. The article traces the dynamics of this activity, preparing courses on source studies and historiography, teaching aids for working with students and graduate students. With his works, M.A. Polievktov laid the foundations for teaching scientific Caucasian studies in Georgia. His activity took place in the conditions of the most severe socio-political struggle in the country, the waves of which reached the walls of the university and were reflected in the fate of teachers. This was reflected in the meeting records of the department, speeches and works of M.A. Polievktova. Scientific and teaching activity of M.A. Polievktova is an organic part of his scientific biography, and left a noticeable mark on the historiography of Caucasian studies.
