Russia
  in northern Caucasia, the
capital
  of the province of
Terek
 . Pop. (1900) 49,924. It strnds on a
plateau
 , at an altitude of 2345 ft., on both banks of the
Terek
 , where that river issues from the Darial gorge. It is 434 M. by rail S.E. from Rostov-on-the-Don, and has regular communication with
Tiflis
  (133 m.) by coach through the Darial Pass (Georgian military road) of the Caucasus. Moreover, a line of tailway, running eastwards to the Caspian ports of
Petrovsk
  and Baku, connects Vladikavkaz, or rather the station Beslan, 14 M. N. of it, with the Transcaucasian railway, i.e. with
Tiflis
 , Poti and Batum. Russians, Armenians and
Jews
  constitute the bulk of the population, which also contains Ossetes, Chechens, Ingushes and others. There are distilleries and a number of smaller factories. The fort, around which the town has grown up, was built in 1784. The town is an episcopal see of the Orthodox Greek
Church
 .
