The problem of study of violence, its appearances, and goals from the anthropological perspective is facing some obstacles. The analyses of the ethnographical data from the mountainous part of East Georgia proves the connection of the forms of violence with the system of values of the definite time-period of the historical-cultural development. The dynamics of the forms of violence depends on the changes of the values. The conclusion is drawn that the violence forms used in traditional societies to regulate the inner relations are to be understood as a cultural fact, the study of which needs to consider not only its instrumental, but also the functional aspects.
