formally educated in the USSR including Premier School of Moscow State University where I defended a PhD. in the History of World Religions 1975. For twenty-three years I worked as a professor and chair of N. Osettian State University in the Caucasus. In 1997 I came to the United States and took a position as a Professor of History at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC.
My primary research interests are the historical and pyscho-historical roots of the formation and constant rejuvenation of ethnicity in the Caucasus and Central Asia. I have published several books, monographs and compilations as well as more than one hundred articles and broadcasts on the subject.
