Stavropol Sociocultural Features As An Object Of Study Of The History

The article is an analysis of the organisation of environmental space in the provincial town of Stavropol (Kavkazsky) in the XX century.A brief review of the literature on historical urbanism and historical sources describing the city of Stavropol in the early 19th -early 20th centuries is made.The life continuum of an individual is considered from the internal and external spheres.Hence, domestic, family life is contrasted with the broad field of socialisation.On the basis of the thesis that the urban environment has a high level of symbolism, functional zones are distinguished, each of which is considered separately.The existing specificity of the urban environment, obviously, leaves imprints on the personality type of a city dweller.Interpersonal interaction in cities differs from traditional family and clan, community, comradeship and other known forms of interpersonal interaction.As the post-reform period saw the erosion of class barriers, Russian society developed an increasingly distinct differentiation not by class, but by occupation, income and earnings.Within the provincial towns of Stavropol province, noble, merchant and bourgeois cultures intersected quite often, depending on the enrichment or ruin of its representatives.
