Cultural and historical approach to studying publishing activity in the North Caucasus

the article is devoted to defining the cultural and historical characteristics of the development of publishing activity in the North Caucasus. The author, using the chronological-problem method, makes an ontological review of the stages of development of typographic and publishing business, determining their role in the scientific, technical, political and state development of centralized management of the worldview of the North Caucasian ethnophors. The analysis of the role of the personality of famous historical figures who made a significant contribution to the formation of publishing activity made it possible to understand the ideological position of the spread of the printed word from religious books, dictionaries of interpretation of local languages to state manifestos. The purpose of creating ethno-dictionaries and publications of other literature in the languages of the North Caucasian peoples is to search for mechanisms for understanding the mental cleches of the local population and ways to effectively manage them through integrated knowledge of history and culture. The author emphasizes that the cultural-historical approach serves as a methodological basis for studying the development of publishing activities in the North Caucasus.
