It is pointed out that after the collapse of the USSR, many pieces of research came out, where the authors turn to history in order to manipulate public consciousness and, therefore, behavior.

description	This article looks at the causes and the mechanism behind the process of mythologizing the history of the peoples of the North Caucasus, which was initiated by the collapse of the Soviet historical paradigm. It is pointed out that after the collapse of the USSR, many pieces of research came out, where the authors turn to history in order to manipulate public consciousness and, therefore, behavior. We analyze the reasons for the process of mythologizing the history of the peoples of the North Caucasus, connected with the historical memory of peoples and opportunistic political considerations.
