The article reveals the main stages of the life of the last Karanogai bailiff Philip Iosifovich Kapelgorodsky (1882-1938), a man whose merits in the development of the Nogai steppe at the beginning of the twentieth century were unfairly forgotten. Using archival data and memoir evidence, the little-studied aspects of his activities as an imperial administrator are highlighted. Separate episodes from the biography of F.I. Kapelgorodsky are given, which determined the turns of his life. It is pointed out that he made a significant contribution to the organization of education in the Nogai steppe, the study and description of the culture, customs, and way of life of the Nogai people. A brief description and analysis of his activities during the Soviet period are also given. In addition, the service record of F.I. Kapelgorodsky in 1915, extracted from the funds of the Russian State Military Historical Archive, is published, which allows us to clarify some of his biographical data.
