For the new socialist state, the issue of providing qualified personnel was of key importance, because the implementation of the tasks outlined by the Soviet government depended on it. The article uses documentary materials extracted from the funds of the Central State Archive of the Republic of Dagestan and monographic research to highlight the policy of nomination in solving the personnel problem of the Republic of Dagestan in the 1930s.

The article deals with the little-studied problems of relations and interaction between the regional authorities and Dagestani society against the background of the events of the First world war, which made its severe adjustments to the daily life of society.
The relevance of the topic is not in doubt in connection with the realities of today, when the crisis of power and society in a number of countries led to the so-called "color revolutions". Historical experience of social disasters allows us to model and predict the future. An interdisciplinary approach to the study of social, political, and economic aspects of the worldview of various segments of the population, their psychological perception of war and their attitude to power allowed us to show the real historical reality. The rejection of the ideology that considered the First world war solely as a forerunner of the revolution, the involvement of memoir literature, the work of foreign researchers, the identification and display of the personal factor made the main focus of research in favor of social anthropology.The daily life of the population of the Dagestan region, as one of the outskirts of tsarist Russia during the First world war, carried General Imperial features, but at the same time had its own specifics. The laws of wartime left an imprint on the daily life of the population of all Russia. However, the available material shows that the crisis phenomena that covered the frontline territory with the beginning of the war in the Dagestan region appeared only by 1916. In the first two years, the regional authorities managed to contain the prices of food and basic necessities. The analysis of the ratio of regional and national history revealed other distinctive features of daily life of Dagestani society, caused by the lack of universal military service for mountaineers, the remoteness of the region from the front line, the presence of a strong traditionalist core that prevents the marginalization of society.
