Abstract. Relying on personal sources - eyewitnesses’ memories, - some of which have been previously unknown, the article examines the Civil War events in Dagestan through the lenses of the comical. The study is based on the interdisciplinary approach combining practices, methodologies, conceptions and approaches used in history, ethnography, psychology. The authors conclude that the comical situations mentioned by the representatives of different social strata and political groups are associated with unique life experience and the ability to preserve humorous attitude to contemporaries and their actions. The researchers emphasize that sense of humour helps a human being to adapt to extreme conditions. The findings justify the authors’ opinion that the eyewitnesses’ memories contribute to deeper understanding of Dagestan mentality.
