Abstract
In the Soviet historical tradition the opinion existed that the friendship between the North Caucasian Alans and Rus’ was exactly before the Mongols invasion. These questions were affected in the chapters of monograph “Foreign Policy of Ancient Rus’” by V. T. Pashuto which were written by A. P. Novoseltsev. However these statements need the confirmation from the written and also archeological sources. So, the Russian and then Soviet researchers supposed that in “Story of Temporal Years” the contacts between the North Caucasian Alans-Jases and Rus’ian peoples were fixed in 965, 1117 and 1182 years AD. However we have not the information of Old Rus’ian Chronicles on the connection of these Jases with the North Caucasian Alania. Therefore the supposition about their Eastern Europe origin is more preferable. Besides, according to the data of Arabian source “History of al-Bab and Shirvan”, A. P. Novoseltsev supposed that the direct contacts between the North Caucasian Alans and Rus’ian peoples could be begun only since 1032 years AD in the Eastern Caucasus. However the different authors wrote two independent parts of this Chronicle and therefore the descriptions of events of 423/1032 year are different there. As a result the supposition about these contacts is very doubtful. Besides, V. A. Kuznetsov wrote that the Alans from “History of al-Bab and Shirvan” could be not only the migrants from the Central Caucasus but also the native population of Maskut region near Darband fortess in the Eastern Caucasus. Their second name was the Maskuts. In spite of it, the data of archeological excavations confirm the contacts between the North Caucasian Alans and Rus’ian peoples in 11-th century exactly where the western border of North Caucasian Alania adjoined with the eastern border of Rus’ian Tmutarakan’ principality. Thus, we can explain this insignificance in contacts between the North Caucasian Alans and Rus’ian peoples during the Post Khazarian Period as a result of incuriosity of Rus’ relatively advancements to the lands of Central Caucasus where the Alans lived. It is generally known that the Rus’ian people aimed to control foremost the water roads from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea.
