The end of the Caucasus War in the second half of the 19th century not only laid the foundation for the incorporation of the North Caucasus into Russia,but also started the process of integration of the North Caucasus region.Russia's integration policy in the North Caucasus was aimed at forming a unified socio-cultural,economic and political identity,and establishing Russian statehood in the region.Administratively,the Russian government set up administrative and judicial institutions,military and food supply depots and other administrative systems based on the Caucasus fortifications.In the cultural sphere,Orthodox missionary activities,the promotion of the Russian language,the establishment of educational systems and cultural institutions became effective policies for integration in the North Caucasus.In terms of population policy,the migration of Cossacks and peasants from the inner Russian provinces to the North Caucasus was an important factor in the integration of the region.Through the inward migration of immigrants and the outward migration of the local mountain people,Russia changed the ethno-political space of the region in a hope to influence the culture and ideology of the local people.Russia's integration policy,based on the idea of Russification,gave a strong impetus to the development in socio-political field,ethnic composition and cultural life in the North Caucasus,and accelerated the integration of the local population into Russian society.At the same time,the forced push of the integration policy also created certain conflicts that still affect the construction of an all-Russian identity in the North Caucasus till this day.
