Abstract
Positive historical experience facilitates the democratic development of the modern Russia. The present research featured the changes that occurred in the status of women in the first decades of Soviet power in the national regions and their regional peculiarities. The research objective was to study the measures that the Dagestani authorities took to change the social and family status of local women in the 1920s. The study was based on the principle of historicism and involved comparativehistorical, statistical, systemic, and narrative methods. The paper introduces a complex analysis of novel material and scientific publications. The Dagestani authorities and public institutions were aimed at the economic, political, and socio-cultural transformations of the multiethnic region. They proved to have some positive effect on the socio-political and family status of local women. However, by the end of the 1920s, a significant part of Dagestani women still remained under the influence of the Muslim clergy and conservative men. They followed traditional norms and adats – the customary law of certain Muslim peoples – especially in the family and marriage sphere.
