Abstract
A socio-cultural study of various ethnic groups is impossible without involving into analysis of statistical sources, among which the richness and reliability of the data highlight the materials of the First General Census of the Russian Empire in 1897. In Russia, for the lack of regular censuses, the main source of statistical information was Zemstvo surveys. The first general census of 1897 was the most important event for the country and covered all its regions, all categories and social strata of the population and the census was conducted by trained specialists. The analysis and synthesis of census materials in order to establish quantitative indicators of the ethnic composition of the population of the Russian Empire and its regions presents certain difficulties, since it does not contain direct indications of the ethnic self-identification of the respondents. However, a cross-analysis of data on the distribution of the population by mother tongue and religion allows obtaining fairly reliable data on the number of different ethnic groups. This method is especially effective for the Jewish population due to the greater coincidence of its linguistic and confessional borders than in the case of other ethnic groups. This article discusses the main socio-demographic indicators of the Jewish population of the Terek region based on the data of the All-Russia Census of the Population of the Russian Empire of 1897.
