Abstract
From the earliest stages of its formation, Russia faced difficulties related not only to joining new territories to the state, but also to the search for the best forms and ways of managing them, which involved the implementation of a national-state policy that fully took into account the interests of, on the one hand, the Russian Empire, and on the other hand, the newly joined territories. One of such difficult tasks facing the Russian state was the process of integration of the North Caucasus into the empire and the problem of choosing the most effective management model for such a big region. In the political and military circles of the Russian Empire in the period from the end of the XVIII to the beginning of the XIX century various plans for the pacification of the Caucasus were developed, which, according to their authors, would guarantee success in solving this problem, however, their analysis showed a lack of unity of approaches in solving the issue under study. The search for the most effective strategic and tactical course in the policy pursued in the Caucasus took a long time, during which many mistakes were made. Theycost both human and material losses
