The paper discusses features of formation of emigration studies as part of foreign Caucasus studies. The author allocates three periods: the years 1920-1930s, the years of World War II and a post-war wave (the 1940 - 1950s), the years 1990-2010s. The foreign Caucasus studies are examined from two positions: first, from the point of view of modern European, Caucasian and Russian researches of this historical period, and, secondly, Caucasus studies as scientific direction in emigration of these years. The author comes to conclusion that the foreign Caucasus studies covering life of the North Caucasian diaspora from the 1920s to the 2010s, almost throughout 100 years, in many respects still need both assembled primary materials (archival and field ethnographic), and carrying out analytical researches in the next decades. At the same time in modern European society, modern emigrants from the Caucasus continue to develop the Caucasus studies established in the 1920-30s by forces of the Caucasian emigration.
