Abstract
The article considers the dynamics, scope of powers and personalities of the Kabarda bailiff administration in 1769-1858. The problem is studied within 3 sub-periods: 1) 1769-1793 – the education and activities of the bailiff administration, as the first institution of local judicial and administrative control in the Kabarda; 2) 1793-1822 dispersal of the functions of local judicial and administrative control between the bailiff department and the Mozdok Upper Border Court; 3) 1822-1858 – the formation of the Kabardian provisional court and the transformation of the Kabardian bailiff administration into Malokabardian. It is specified that military officers and (in some cases) civil servants were appointed bailiffs. It was determined that their powers included the exercise of mediation functions between the Russian authorities and the indigenous inhabitants, establishing partnerships with representatives of the Kabardian ethnic elite, resolving disputes and conflicts among representatives of the local population, mediation in the settlement of internecine disputes, prevention of possible conflicts, issuance of travel tickets and control over individual and group migration, collection of information about the public life of the controlled population, etc. that the Bailiff administrations on the Left Wing of the Caucasian Line were liquidated in 1858 as a result of the transformations, aimed at the establishment of institutes of military-public administration, the formation of districts and their unification in the Terek region. It is concluded that in the new conditions, the assistants of the district chiefs in the field, then the chiefs of the sites, were similar to the bailiff structures.
