Abstract
The article discusses the beginning of land reform in Balkaria in the context of Russian reforms of the second half of the nineteenth century. The aim is to evaluate the contribution of D.S. Kodzokov to the practical solution of the land issue in the mountain ethnic communities. In August 1863, under his leadership, negotiations were held with trustees of rural societies to determine the border between Kabarda and Balkarian societies. Such delimitation was necessary to begin land survey work. However, due to the complexity of the problem, this work did not achieve its logical conclusion. The results of land transformations in Balkaria ultimately were boiled down to the defining of various forms of land tenure and land use in the mountains; to the allocation of the in the foothills of the land areas for the settling of the new Balkar villages on the principles of communal land tenure; as well as to the legislative definition of the procedure for the use of pastures lands that were jointly owned by Kabarda and five Balkarian societies.
