Matveyev, Vladimir Aleksandrovich – Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, author of more than 300 scientific publications, 20 monographs. Specializes in the problem of Russian universalist transformation and separatism in the North Caucasus, interethnic conflicts and the experience of their overcoming in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. At the same time, he studies the peculiarities of the state structure of the outlying regions of the Russian East in the imperial period, the formation of their subject status, the organization of the associated system of governance. Attention is paid to understanding the role of Christianity and Islam in the integration process, the stabilizing effect of Russian settlement in the zones of civilizational fractures, and its Protestant and other components. In addition, research covers the circumstances surrounding the revolutionary crisis in Russia in 1917, the emergence of the phenomenon of Russian Bolshevism and its Bonapartist transformation during the early and subsequent periods of the Soviet era, and the reproduction of historical codifications in the East Slavic community in the 20th and 21st centuries.
