Abstract. The paper argues that Muslim faith established itself in the Central Caucasus and, in particular, Ingushetia, earlier than it is generally assumed. The author provides an analysis of some data indicating the possibility of more extensive expansion of Islam among the Caucasian Alans, as well as their ethnic component on the basis of the autochthonous peoples of the North Caucasus. The researcher identifies the causes of Caucasian Alania’s greater confessional autonomy from the Byzantine Empire in comparison with some medieval Christian states.
