Abstract
The research is intended to systematize Ossetian, Balkarian, and Kabardian tombstones of the XX century. Exploration of the plases of commemoration and commemorative markes was held through the prism of ethnographic field data. The research’s objective is to uncover the similarities and differences in grave styling the Central Caucasus. The selection of monuments was made in the frontier settlements of Chegem and Cherek Gorges and Lesken area of Kabardin-Balkarskaja Republic, Irafsky, Digorsky, and Alagirsky areas of North-Ossetia-Alania. The paper is focused on Soviet period monuments (1917-1991). The conservatism in the funeral rites and tomb shaping has affirmed the undoubted ethnocultural kinship of peoples in the region.
