Aristide,
Then we’d expect to see a more general phenomenon of peoples straddling the Greater Caucasus. Chechens to the south, Azeris to the north.
Of course, the Ossets escaped the Mongols by fleeing the steppes to the mountains. I suspect that the southern populations were placed by the Russians along the road to service and protect the road.
