Abstract: Yury Yuryevich Karpov was the leading expert on the history, ethnography, and culture of the peoples of the Caucasus from the second half of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st. This obituary includes biographical data and the main milestones of his artistic career and research. In large part, his contribution to Russian science is connected with his field studies on the peoples of Dagestan and their ethnocultural context. Karpov’s research is of great interest to ethnographers, historians, politicians, and any reader who is interested in the Caucasus. The author also notes the significant contribution Karpov made to the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography with both subject collections, and the photographic materials from his field work in the Caucasian region.

Keywords: Dagestan, history, ethnography, anthropology, culture, politics, migration, sociocultural and ethnosocial processes in the Caucasus.
