Abstract
The most important public institution of the North Caucasus peoples, hospitality, is being explored. Its centuries-old history, features, character and functions are analyzed. Nowadays with the development of telecommunication links, of the world-wide Internet, the studied social institution loses its importance and undergoes many changes. At the same time, some of its elements continue to be passed on from generation to generation. Thanks to this continuity, the peoples of the North Caucasus manage to preserve their identity and uniqueness and not to lose sight of the social and cultural phenomenon of globalization. Multiculturalism of the peoples of the North Caucasus implies close cultural ties, linguistic and behavioral competences. The study of the experience of hospitality allows not only to confirm its importance in strengthening and uniting people, but also to contribute to the rise of the unique social organization and of the interactivity of the cultural environment. Hospitality activates the creative potential of the individual in carrying joy to people.
