Abstract
The proposed article is an analysis of the Russian-language creative heritage of the Karachay-Balkar public figure Misost Abaev, whose publicism introduced the Russian reader to the life of the mountain society during its integration into the Russian Empire, and also contained a historical excursion into the past of the people, told about their life, culture, and worldview. The author focuses on the study of a number of topical topics revealed by the publicist in the Caucasian periodicals, on the solutions he offers to acute social issues. The main topics of M.'s publications Abaev's articles and essays were in tune with the ideas of the North Caucasian progressive figures of the turn of the century, the author's articles and essays covered socio-economic problems and society's requests for the renewal of culture through education. The article presents the results of the analysis of the experiments of M. Abaev's creation of literary texts (stories "Mountain Legend", "At the grave of Islam", obituary-essay), where the publicist revealed another aspect of his work – the bright personality of the narrator. The work of M. Abaev is first considered in the context of popular ideas that spread in the Caucasus in the last quarter of the XIX century, the influence of these ideas on the state of mountain society.
