Name
The ethnonym “Dargins” is derived from the word “darg”, which translates as “group, people”. The ethnonyms “Dargan” and “Dargins” are of later origin, according to philologist R. Argeeva. In the pre-revolutionary period, this nation was known as the Khyurkili and Akush people.

In the 1960s, the letter Pl pI was added to the Dargin alphabet. Today there are 46 letters in the alphabet.
In schools, education is conducted in the Dargin language according to the all-Russian program. All textbooks, except books on literature, Russian language, foreign languages, translated into Dargin. There are Russian-language Dargin kindergartens.
Religion
The Dargins are Sunni Muslims; they adopted this religion in the 14th century. Before this, the Dargins were pagans, worshiped mythical characters of the pantheon of gods who personified the forces and phenomena of nature. Many of them have been preserved in the life of the people to this day:
- Kune, a mythical character who represents the good, invisible to humans spirit. He is the patron of the family hearth and clan, bringing prosperity to the house. People imagine it as tall woman with a big bust and long hair red. The spirit appears in homes on Fridays and lives in the central pillar of the home. To appease him, housewives grease the hot stove with oil or a piece of fatty meat on this day of the week. If Kune leaves and does not return, it is unlucky.
- Moyu, these are spirits who are in charge of the birth of children and are the patroness of women in labor. Common among the Dargin-Akush people. People imagine them as old women dressed in black and white clothes. They can send sickness and death to children;
- Berhi, the deity personifying the Sun, in the form of a beautiful youth who emits a dazzling and bright light. Berhi lives in the sea, enters it and leaves it. He gets swallowed sea monster Kurtma. God Zal saves and returns to earth;
- Badz, a deity who personifies the Moon. Presented as beautiful girl. There is a legend about spots on the moon: Bazd and Berhi loved each other, but Budz began to brag that she was more beautiful than Berhi and people looked at her more than at him. Then the Sun threw lumps of dirt onto the Moon, which cannot be washed off, causing spots to form on it. The Moon was offended and ran away from the Sun, who later admitted his guilt and is now always trying to catch up with Badz;
- Abdal, or Avdal, patron of deer, aurochs, wild goats and god of the hunt. He takes care of wild animals, milks and grazes them, and limits their shooting. For good luck, people offered him a sacrifice in the form of the liver or heart of a killed animal. The bones were not thrown away or burned so that Abdal could use them to revive the beast.
The entire life of representatives of this people from birth to death is accompanied by religious rituals. Dargins believe that morality and religion are two inseparable things.
The Muslim holidays of Eid al-Adha and Kurban Bayram occupy a special place in the life of the Dargins. Each family, according to custom, celebrates Mawlid an-Nabi - the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. An important part of the ritual is Dhikr.
Food
The cuisine of the Dargins living on the plain was dominated by plant food. In the highlands, they mainly preferred food from milk and meat. The most common flour products are khinkal and about 50 varieties of miracle pies with various fillings. The flour used was rye, millet, corn, barley and wheat. Sausages are made from beef and lamb meat, the meat is dried and smoked. Several types of cheese are made from milk. Soups are very popular among people; they are prepared with beans, vegetables, and ground wheat. Kebab, pilaf, sauces and kurze (similar to dumplings and dumplings) are very popular. For sweets, Dargins often make apple caramels - whole apples boiled in caramel. Supplements to the diet include greens, vegetables, fruits, and berries.
IN Dargin cuisine Pan-Caucasian dishes are common. Representatives of this ethnic group have long learned to preserve fruits and vegetables. Food is served to the table on a common large platter from which everyone eats. Previously, the Dargins had hand mills at home, in which they themselves ground grain flour. The houses had a special fire room where food was prepared. There were entire neighborhood bakeries where pies and churek bread were baked. The favorite drink of the Dargins is buza kvass.
Life
For a long time, the Dargins have been engaged in cattle breeding, farming, processing wood, stone, leather and wool, and embroidering with gold threads and silk. In the village of Sulevkent they engage in pottery making. The Dargins process metals; pottery, copper hammering, bronze casting and blacksmithing are common among them. They produce jewelry and weapons. Everyone in Kubachi, from young to old, owns jewelry. This is passed down from generation to generation. They make ceremonial dishes, candlesticks, stunning jewelry for women, and work with bone, copper, enamel and silver. The masters decorated ceremonial weapons, dagger handles and scabbards with silver and gilding, and patterned bone plates. This art is still widespread today. Kubachi jewelers are known all over the world.
The Kubachi craftsmen who made helmets, chain mail, pistols and shotguns are also famous. Leather men's belts are always richly decorated with hanging plaques, links made of silver and metal.
The role of women in the household was significant. Her responsibilities included caring for cattle, harvesting crops, cooking, storing food, making household items and clothing. The man plowed, sowed, and was engaged in sheep breeding.
Girls began to be taught tailoring national costumes, the production of hats, weaving breast ornaments, various necklaces, which consisted of coins and beads. Dargin women skillfully weave carpets, felt and knit.
Modern Dargins are engaged in viticulture and gardening. In many places, canning factories have been built where berries, vegetables and fruits are processed. Large fruit canning factories and industrial plants are located in the villages of Majalis, Serkzhala, Khoja-Makhi and Tsudahar. Factories for processing livestock products and enterprises for the production of cheeses and butter.
Housing
Traditionally, the Dargins lived in rural communities called jamaat. The communities were united into unions of rural societies, some of them were part of the Akushim Confederation. Today, people have small families, which in the past were large and undivided. Tukhums are also widespread in the territory of Dagestan - groups of families that descended from one ancestor. After October Revolution Schools, hospitals, clubs, village councils and reading huts were opened in the villages.
Villages in the mountains are terrace-like and crowded. The main types of housing in the foothills and mountains are multi-story houses with a flat roof. During Soviet times, more modern villages of multi-storey buildings were built.
Dargins build modern houses from stone, sandstone, limestone and shale. In some villages they use adobe. The houses stand on a foundation or rocky base. Stone laying is carried out mainly using clay mortar. Older buildings have dry masonry. The floors in the dwellings are slate, adobe or wood. The ceiling is made from boards, slate slabs, brushwood or poles. In villages located in the foothills, gable tile or iron roofs began to be used more often. The facades of dwellings usually have an open gallery or veranda.
If the house consists of several floors, the lower one is reserved for a barn, stables, hayloft, space for storing firewood and storage rooms. There are living rooms on the upper floors. In villages located at higher altitudes mountainous areas, dwellings are often of irregular configuration and are adjusted in construction to the slope on which they stand. Because of this, the rooms irregular shapes, sometimes with five corners or rounded corners. All houses of the Dargins are well-equipped, kept clean and sufficiently equipped with amenities.
Appearance
The national clothing of Dargin men consisted of a tunic-like “kheva” shirt and “sharbar” trousers of a simple cut. These items were used not only as underwear, but also as part of outerwear. It was sewn from thick cotton or wool fabric of a dark color: blue, black or gray. Men in Nizhny Kaitag wore a white shirt and white trousers.
Over the shirt they put on a lined beshmet (captal), sewn from a dark dense material. To sew an elegant beshmet, they bought silk or wool fabric in black, dark green or blue. Shili dripped into the waist, according to the figure. There was a straight cut in the front, from top to bottom. The length of the clothing was slightly below or above the knees, at the request of the man. Below the waist, mainly at the back and sides, several wedges were sewn in, narrow and widening towards the bottom; they formed coattails. There were up to 10 such wedges.
The beshmet had a low, standing collar; there were internal pockets on the sides, below the waist. There were sewn pockets on the chest. The beshmet was fastened at the front with small buttons and loops, from the collar to the waist. The loops were made from homemade thin braid. The same braid was used to trim the collar, sleeves, cutouts on the side pockets and the top of the chest pockets. The winter beshmet was sewn on cotton wool. A man wore a captal in the field, he could go out into the street in it and walk around at home. When it was cool, a Circassian coat was worn over it.
An important part of outerwear was a sheepskin coat; it was worn in winter over a beshmet and a Circassian coat. One fur coat took from 6 to 9 sheepskins of a young lamb. In inclement weather they wore a burka. A mandatory attribute of a Dargin man is a long and wide dagger.
They wore hats and felt hats. The wealthy sewed their own hats from Central Asian astrakhan fur. The Dargins had quite a variety of shoes. Many Dargins, especially residents of the villages of the Tsudakhar region, were excellent craftsmen in leather and shoe making. At home they wore woolen socks, which every woman knew how to knit. For strength, morocco, canvas or cloth were sewn onto them. Soft morocco boots were worn over the socks. They wore galoshes, boots and shoes.
Women's clothing consisted of an undershirt, wide or narrow pants, and an outer tunic-like or one-piece dress.

The length of the sash was from 2 to 5 meters, it was wrapped around the waist and hips. It could be replaced with a metal or leather belt.

Today, Dargins wear mostly urban-type clothes and shoes. To this day there is a rule according to which clothes bright colors can only be worn by young girls. Married women wear calm tones and fabrics of the same color. Older women wear clothes in brown, blue and black.

Traditions
Previously men and women in the family ate food separately. Today, all family members sit down at the table together. In most of Dargin society today there is a custom of women’s meetings, which are prohibited for men. In the village of Kubachi there were even special premises that were called the women's house or the girls' house. The entire female population gathered there. People also have holidays only for women. But despite this, the situation of Dargin women used to be very difficult. They did not have the right to take part in public affairs of the village, go to public rural holidays, talk with men and communicate with her husband in front of strangers. The man was the head of the house, and without his consent the wife could not sell, acquire or give anything. Everything that belonged to her in her husband's house was only her dowry.
The woman had no right to accept before my husband food, go to bed until he comes home. It was not customary for a man to raise children; only his wife did this. Senior family members also took part. In public, the father did not have the right to show feelings for his child, to caress him and calm him down if he cried. But when the children grew up and the question arose about any important decision related to them, only the father took part. The mother had no say. The role of women in the household was very significant.
Marriages among the Dargins were concluded within the limits of tokhum - a certain social group or categories. Questions about marriage were decided only by fathers, without children. The preferences and interests of children were not taken into account. It was important social status and the bride's dowry. Because a large dowry was required, girls were often unable to get married. Young men who were required to expensive gifts for the bride and her relatives. Wealthy men often had several wives, which made life even more difficult for women. The second and third wives did not have the right to independence, since the first wife was the mistress.
A woman entered her husband’s house with her head covered, and the man’s family performed a ritual that protected the young from misfortune. They sacrificed a ram; it was believed that its blood drove away evil spirits.
Dargins are very hospitable; for them, a guest is the most important person in the house. The best is served to him: food, a place at the table and a bed. Hospitality is a great virtue for this people. Receiving guests and being hospitable is considered a great duty, which any Dargin will fulfill with pleasure.
Dargins respect their elders very much; for them this is the basis of ethics. Parents and other elders in the family always take pride of place at the table and are the first to speak. Young people should stand in their presence and always give up their place if necessary.
Children are usually given the names of prophets or deceased relatives. All Dargins honor family ties, it is important for them not to disgrace the family, not to disgrace themselves. Boys are taught from childhood to stand up for themselves and their loved ones. They must study well, respect their elders, and be an example for others. Girls are raised as future guardians of the hearth and family values.

Dargins are the indigenous inhabitants of Dagestan. The first mention of the Dargins (self-name - Dargan) dates back to the 15th century. Already in the 16th century, three types of Dargins emerged, differing in place of residence and occupation: lower foothills, mid-mountain and high-mountain.
IN early XIX century Dagestan was included in Russian Empire, which led to the start of the so-called liberation war. The Dargins took part in it on Shamil’s side, but not actively (due to their strong dependence on the Russians). However, during the anti-colonial uprising of 1877, they were already more militant.
In 1921, the Dargins, together with other peoples, became part of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. After this, part of the Dargins moved to the plain. In 1991, the Republic of Dagestan was formed.
Life of the Dargins
The main occupation of the Dargins was and remains cattle breeding (mainly large cattle and sheep). The only difference between the past and the present is that now new highly productive crops and breeds are being introduced into these industries.
Traditionally, the Dargins lived in a rural community that had local name jamaat. Communities united into unions of rural societies. Some of them, in turn, were part of the Akushim Confederation.
Currently, small families are common among Dolgin residents, although in the last century there were large, undivided ones. In Dagestan, tukhums are also common - groups of families descending from the same ancestor. The mountain villages of the Dargins are mostly crowded and terrace-like.
The main type of mountain housing in the mountains and foothills is multi-story houses with a flat roof. IN Soviet times Quite modern villages with multi-storey buildings were built.
The men's traditional clothing of the Dargins is similar to the clothing of other peoples of the North Caucasus: shirt, trousers, beshmet, burka, fur coat, leather and felt shoes, chukta (headdress).
The main traditional food of the Dargins is flour, meat, and dairy. As a supplement, the diet also included vegetables, fruits, herbs, and berries. One of national dishes Dargin (North Caucasian) cuisine is a miracle. This is a pie made from unleavened dough with different kinds of filling - meat, cottage cheese, vegetables. Miracles can be either closed or semi-closed, like large cheesecakes. Like all the peoples of the Caucasus, the Dargins are restrained in food, but hospitable.
The main types of Dargin folklore: traditions, legends, fairy tales, proverbs and sayings, heroic songs. Some ancient rituals have been preserved.
Processing of wool, metal, wood, stone, and leather is developed. Different types creativity developed in a certain area. Thus, weapons from Kubachi, Kharbuk and Amuzga, pottery from Sulevkent, wooden tools and household utensils from Kaitag, and so on were highly valued.
Dargins are one of the largest ethnic groups in Dagestan. Rich history this people dates back several hundred centuries and has its roots in extreme antiquity. The Dargin nationality includes the most skilled and commercial residents of Dagestan, who revere simple life and having great respect for their traditions and customs.
Thanks to the closed communal life of the Dargans or Darganti, as they call themselves, they managed to preserve the identity and rituals of their ancestors. Despite the fast pace modern life, the traditions and customs of the Dargins have remained virtually unchanged. The religion of Islam and family rituals, agriculture and home crafts, folk art and folklore are the pillars of the nation. They make up the daily life of this hardworking people.
Brief historical background
Dargins- indigenous people of Dagestan. This is the second largest Dagestani ethnic group after the Avars. Dargan settlements in the foothills and mountain regions modern Dagestan appeared in the 1st millennium BC. In comments to Arabic manuscripts, the first mentions of the ethnonym begin to appear in the 15th century. As a result of the development of international Russian-Dagestan relations at the beginning of the 19th century, the Dargins, along with other ethnic groups of Dagestan, became part of Russia. Now more than 490 thousand Darganti live on the territory of the republic (16.5% of total number population).Dargin religion
The Dargan people are Sunni Muslims. Before the adoption of Islam in the 14th century, the Dargins were pagans. They worshiped mythological characters of the pantheon of gods, personifying the phenomena and forces of nature. Despite the active educational activities of the Muslim clergy over many centuries, a significant place in everyday life Darganti were occupied by pre-Islamic beliefs, clothed in Islamic form.
The entire life of this people, from birth to death, is accompanied by religious rituals. According to the beliefs of the Dargins, religion and morality are inseparable things.
The main Muslim holidays: Kurban Bayram and Eid al-Adha occupy a special place in the life of the Darganti. According to custom, every family always tries to celebrate Mawlid an Nabi - the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. Dhikr also forms an important part of the Islamic rituals of the Dargins.
Crafts and trades
Agriculture, cattle breeding and folk crafts- the main occupations of the Dargins. In the foothills of Dagestan, arable farming is more developed. Since the 16th century, the Darganti have successfully grown wheat, barley, corn, legumes, and millet. In high mountain areas most occupation is associated with the breeding of small and large livestock.
The Dargins have achieved great skill in processing wool, metal, wood, leather, and stone. The professions of jeweler, tanner and gunsmith occupy a special place in their lives. The most famous are weapons, jewelry from Kubachi, agricultural implements, weapons from Kharbuk, blades from Amuzga, pottery (including glazed) from Sulevkent, cloth from Khadzhalmakhi, carved stone from Sutbuk and Kholaay, wooden tools, utensils from Kaytag, Tsudahar skins, morocco and women's shoes Gubden. Traditionally, otkhodnichestvo is developed - men leaving to earn money. Darginkas learn the art of weaving from a young age. Thanks to hard work the people became famous high quality cold steel, jewelry, pottery, cloth, leather goods.
Way of life and family traditions
Dargins are a patriarchal people. Traditionally, the leading position in the family is occupied by men and elders. The wife is completely subordinate to her husband, children - to adult family members. Respect and veneration for elders is the foundation of Dargin ethics. Parents and other ancestors occupy the most honorable places at the table, they always speak first, young people usually stand in their presence and must always give way.
Traditionally, children are named after deceased relatives and prophets. Every Dargin honors family ties and tries not to lose face or disgrace his family and elders. From a young age, children are raised in the traditions of Islam, taking into account national customs. A boy, the future head of a family, must be able to stand up for himself and his loved ones, respect elders, study well, be good example. The girl is the future keeper of the hearth and family values.
Also among the customs of the Dargins Hospitality has a special place. Guest - very important person in the house. For him, all the best: a place at the table, food, bed. The Dargans consider hospitality to be the greatest virtue. Receiving guests and being hospitable is considered an honorable duty that any Dargin will gladly perform.
In everyday life, personal interests and dignity are always subordinated to public ones. Masculinity, piety, hard work, honesty and respect for elders, a sense of duty and responsibility - these are the qualities the Dargins try to cultivate in themselves and their children.
