Dağ Özerk Sovyet Sosyalist Cumhuriyeti: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

In the 19th century, the best land in the region was given to [[Cossacks]], [[Russian people|Russian]] and [[Ukrainian people|Ukrainian]] military colonizers, while many natives were driven to the mountains. In 1920, the Soviet government decided to deport the [[Terek Cossacks]] and give their farms to the natives. A total of 34,637 individuals were deported to [[Vladikavkaz]], [[Arkhangelsk]] and [[Donbass]]. Hundreds of families were later found to be supporters of the Soviet government. In January 1921, the forced resettlement of the Cossacks was stopped, and some families returned to occupy abandoned farms, but the densely-populated line of Tsarist-era military settlements was erased from the North Caucasus forever and the natives were free to occupy the fertile lands on the valley floors. In 1882, 24.7% of the [[Ingush people|Ingush]] lived in the mountains, but by 1924 only 2.1% did.<ref name="Alex Marshall 2010 175-178">{{citeKitap bookkaynağı|author=Alex Marshall|title=The Caucasus Under Soviet Rule|url=https://books.google.nl/books?id=yI4vCgAAQBAJ|year=2010|publisher=Routledge|page=175-178}}</ref>

During the [[Cold War]], many Western historians saw the disintegration of the Mountaineer Republic as a [[divide and rule|divide-and-conquer]] strategy by the [[Soviet government]] to keep the [[peoples of the Caucasus]] weak and subjugated to Moscow. The Soviet archives that became public in the 1990s have shown this not to be the case. The disintegration of the republic started in March 1921, just two months after its creation, when the leaders of [[Kabarda]] expressed their discontent at having been made part of the republic and cited the absence of economic links between the Kabards and other Mountaineer peoples. From April to June 1921, Kabarda held a congress at which 140 delegates, only 28 of the [[Bolsheviks]], had overwhelmingly voted not just to become an autonomous oblast, but to also demand autonomous republic status. [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] had to talk the leader of the Kabards, [[Betal Kalmykov]], out of applying for a [[Republics of the Soviet Union|full union republic]] status.<ref name="Alex Marshall 2010 181">{{citeKitap bookkaynağı|author=Alex Marshall|title=The Caucasus Under Soviet Rule|url=https://books.google.nl/books?id=yI4vCgAAQBAJ|year=2010|publisher=Routledge|page=181}}</ref>
