This article investigates debates between religious leaders in Dagestan during the Russian Revolution on the state-building project of imamate. Analysing the attempt of a group of religious leaders led by Najm al-Dīn Gotsinsky to reestablish the Dagestani imamate, the article situates that struggle within the broader context of the Russian Revolution, where the Whiles and the Reds were fighting for the power. As is demonstrated, debates over the imamate hindered any possible consolidation of the Dagestani religious leadership against the Bolsheviks and even, in some cases, pushed them to cooperate with the Bolsheviks, facilitating the latter's victory in Dagestan.

本文调查了俄国革命期间达吉斯坦宗教领袖之间关于阿訇国家建设项目的辩论。文章分析了由 Najm al-Dīn Gotsinsky 领导的一群宗教领袖试图重建达吉斯坦教长的尝试，文章将这场斗争置于俄罗斯革命的更广泛背景下，在那里，白军和红军正在为权力而战。正如所证明的那样，关于伊玛目的辩论阻碍了达吉斯坦宗教领导层对布尔什维克的任何可能的巩固，甚至在某些情况下，迫使他们与布尔什维克合作，促进了后者在达吉斯坦的胜利。
