Kavkazskiy kalendar (

pre-reform orthography: Кавказскій календарь, lit.'Caucasian calendar') was an annual almanac published in Tiflis (present-day Tbilisi)[1] in the Russian Empire by the office of the Viceroy of the Caucasus
from 1846 to 1917.

History

Kavkazskiy kalendar contained a large number of ethnographic and historical materials. Questions of public education, agricultural crops were considered, information about the customs of the

Kuban and Terek oblasts, as well as the Black Sea and Stavropol governorates.[5]

Kavkazskiy kalendar was used as a guide and essential reference book by travellers, explorers and various persons sent to the Caucasus. The almanac enjoyed great interest among the population.[6] A correspondent of the newspaper Kavkaz [ru] noted:

Народ каждый год с нетерпением ожидает очередного «Кавказского календаря» (English translation: Every year the people look forward to the next edition of Kavkazskiy kalendar)[6]
