Abstract
This article studyies Political Identity of Dagestani people in the North Caucasus. At the first, I have defined a true theory of political identity, which is compatible with Dagestanis. This theory defines political identity in two aspects: grounded aspect, which is geography and history, and the social-environmental aspect, which includes culture (especially religion, cos-tumes and ethnicity), modernity and economics. I have discussed any of these factors on Dage-stan republic. Then I have seen Dagestani political identity as non-modern, costumed (under “Adet”s) and ethnics. I have used other studies which worked on the political sociology of Dagestanis, interviewed with the people who worked with Dagestanis (especially Iranian diplo-mats, scholars and university professors) and Russian and Dagestani online data (magazines, itinerary…)
