Abstract. The article deals with the topics related to the birth, establishment and existence of the Mountain Republic in 1918-1919 on the territory of the Terek-Dagestan region as presented by one of the active figures of the mountain liberal movement V.-G. Dzhabagiyev. On the basis of his historical concept the author comes to the conclusion that the highlanders of Terek and Dagestan gladly accepted the news of the fall of autocracy in Russia in March 1917. It was this event that the highlanders decided to use to initially gain autonomy and then independence from Russia. Dzhabagiyev criticises the interaction with the Terek Cossacks, although it was a situational alliance between highlanders and Cossacks that led to the creation of the first anti-Bolshevik government in the region, the Provisional Terek-Dagestan Government. He also criticises the role of the British at the turn of 1918-1919 in the North Caucasus, claiming that they helped the White Guards against the Gorsky Republic in every possible way. Dzhabagiev describes the role of theWhite Guards under the command of General A.I. Denikin in the history of the Gorskaya Republic extremely negatively, although only a military-political alliance with the White Guards guaranteed to some extent the participation of Gorskaya liberal figures in the life of the Terek-Dagestan region on relatively acceptable terms.
