By the early 19th century, Russian Czars started to make a concerted effort to bring the isolate yet important region of the Caucasus under their control. They'd soon encounter various mountainous peoples of the region who were always difficult foe to subdue. A resistance movement soon developed, united under the banner of Islam, calling themselves Murids. Under a series of leaders, most famously Imam Shamil, the Murids would make Dagestan and Chechnya a graveyard for tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, as they stubbornly clung on to the hope remaining independent against an aggressive foreign outside power. In a classic tale of David vs Goliath, for over 30 years the Murids would outmaneuver the juggernaut Russian army numerous times before finally succumbing to the sad fate of defeat.

I never knew there were more Avars than the ones who scourged Europe. The ones who went west never converted from paganism and were the very definition of _Avar-ice_. Did Islam bring the Dagestan Avars more virtue than their cousins?
I don’t think it was necessary they were fighting Christianity they were fighting Russias attempt to christianize orthodox Gregorian to be exact there were Albanian Christian’s in Karabakh and what people don’t realize is Russia had there own Christian crusades where Russia Greece Slovakia and Armenians were attacking Arab villages in Turkey that ended up there from the caliphate . See there use to be Muslim Greeks but they were all exterminated and there was Christian’s in Azerbaijan but they were not orthodox . They were Turkish Christian’s the Albanians . They moved the Albanians out of Karabakh and moved Armenians and gave them Albanians churches moved the Albanians to Turkey . Georgia didn’t join the crusade plus they lived among there neighbors fine don’t believe me look up Armenian and Georgian war in 1918 they tried to take Tbilisi from Georgia why do you ask because of the same reason Armenians believed they should have Karabakh because they put numbered them . They didn’t win the only reason Azerbaijan has patients is because Armenians cry wolf saying they weee a part of the genocide as well they were t they fought Armenians but that’s because they always attacked villages killing Azeris . Look at how many minorities are in Armenia and look at how many minorities in Azerbaijan. How are you going to be in ten different places at once they never had that huge of a population .
Shamil is a hero for every Caucasian, I am circassian my self and I remember my grandfather telling us stories about the hero's of the lost fight.

No. He’s not a hero for us anymore. He surrendered and let Baysangur to die.
I am a Native American and I love watching content on the Caucus tribes as their struggle was similar to ours, Shamil surely would have been good friends with Crazy Horse, warriors to the end.

We can both agree that the white liberal powers used [ a inside job ] to divert and split our cultures,regions, and tribesmen etc etc to fight each other so that they can be weaken and vulnerable for the western powers to wipe them out and divide them
They had done this exact tactic with the ottoman empire, making the Arabs to hate the ottomans so that the ottomans had to focuse on a inside civil war while dealing the western powers [ eventually collapsing into turkey ]
They also did the same to the native Americans, by tricking other Indian tribes to fight others, so that they all can be weakened for a colonization by the whites.
We know for certain that the white people had a good job at making us hate our own related people/cultures etc.
the history of native americans and caucasians people are very similar

Even in our age Shamil continues to fascinate the West , where sentimentalized biographies of the great warrior are read no matter what their quality . Shamil was undoubtedly a great man .
im gonna hope it isnt fascination based in Orientalism, but, im gonna guess, at least some of it is. im gonna guess "Caucasian" and "The Caucuses" as concepts do bring a lot of baggage with them, makes the region and the people very fascinating
What are you claiming with this statement? " ...Shamil continues to fascinate the West, where sentimentalized biographies of the great warrior are read no matter what their quality." Shamil is mostly unknown in the West. You're throwing shade, not sure who you are throwing shade at.
Sha who?

Great piece of work, enjoyed watching. Thank you.
For those who are unaware there is an amazing book about the Rebellion of Imam Shamill called “The Sabers of Paradise”. Many more are unaware that Frank Herbert’s major inspiration for the Fremen in Dune was the Chechen and Caucasian tribes. Borrowing many loan words from the book and even some whole phrases! Both are favorites of mine to read.
crazy... didnt know thank you
Reminds me of a Timur Mutsuraev song called "Paradise Under the Shadow of Sabers".
>The river flows down in a frenzied torrent.
And eagles, watching for something, are circling in the sky.
There, on the edge of the forest, they see
The columns of the enemy's Russian soldiers.
Noise of engines, throngs of tanks,
On the road, coming towards us,
Coming towards us:
Paradise under the shadow of sabers.
You're in the holy war - you're a Muslim.
Let us stand together in solid wall, Against the enemy.
For some it will be their last stand, It's their destiny.
What happened here at that time,
I can't tell you now
O Allah! To the whole world the cry of Allahu Akbar!
And the names of the Chechens who went away are heard,
For ever:
Paradise under the shadow of sabers.
You're in a holy war - you're a Muslim.
And not a few more black days, enemies all around.
But in Allah, our faith grows strong in our bosom.
Let death come to us in battle.
Well, everyone will die someday,
But then what's in store for us?
Paradise, eternal paradise will be given,
Insha Allah!

When Shamil had given up, Baysangur of Benoa continued to fight until his capture. After a tough battle against the Russians, the Russians had captured Baysangur and had received the death penalty. Russians obliged residents of Dagestan to push away the chair he was standing on during the death sentence. But because Baysangur wanted peace between 2 Caucasian peoples (Chechens and Dagestans) he had pushed the chair away from himself and committed a great sin as a believer (suicide). A very prominent, fierce and fearless figure of that period.

Beautiful video and u remind me about my warrior culture that i come from
You should do more videos about baysangur and mansur
I am Mexican American. The majority of my background is a genuine product of the mixture between Spaniards and Native Americans… (55% Spaniard/40% Native American).
However, I tested up to 4% North Caucasian DNA. Particularly of the Circassian and Ossetian people. Does anyone know how a Mexican could end up with this blood? Does it come from the Iranic Alans? I know they settled in Spain…
Any info is appreciated!
4% seems high for an early medieval migration. Sounds like you need to do more ancestry research.
@@ThatHabsburgMapGuy I have.
The only way this survives is if my Spanish ancestors reproduced with other Spaniards who had this DNA therefore reinforcing it. For example, my North African survived; I’ve traced lineages back to Andalusia. I had Converso ancestors who went through the inquisition and I descend from a conquistador who was half Jewish. I had ancestral Jewish uncles who were burned in Auto De Fe’s on the Canary Islands…
However, my Jewish ancestry didn’t make it. As time went on, My conquistador Great Grandfather’s descendants ended up reproducing with non Jewish Spaniards, therefore diluting and washing out the DNA over the centuries. It is possible to not inherit any DNA from ancestors so long as they don’t reproduce with others that have it. I believe you inherit up to 10 generations back.
For example, I also have 2% North African. Many Mexicans have this heritage from the Spaniards and their mixes. So long that a Mexican reproduced with another Mexican that has that blood, it gets “reinforced”. So for example my 2% could be reinforced if I reproduce with a Mexican woman or Latina woman who has North African.
My Spanish and Native American DNA has remained strong, steady and consistent since the 1500s. Meaning the Hispanics that were reproducing throughout those years were predominantly Spaniard/Native American
It probably comes from a similar ancestor back when we were hunter gatherers. Let’s not forget the people crossing the Bering Strait from Siberia to inhabit north and South America
@@bobstencil9888 I am a Native American that accepts the Bering Straight Theory. And it’s not even about accepting, it’s about understanding. Siberia is our Great Grandmother.

During Shamil's surrender, his Chechen commanders Baysangur from Benoi, Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev along with their respective units refused to surrender, broke through & escaped the Russian encirclement & raised a new uprising in Chechnya. In June of the same year Baysangur's men defeated the Russian Ossetian Muslim Major-General Musa Kundukhov in combat near the town Fachu. Atabi Atayev's rebels thwarted attempts to strengthen the forces of Russian commander Nikolay Yevdokimov, and Duyev's forces freed the villages of the Argun Gorge from Russian control. The total strength of the rebel forces at that time reached 1,500. In November, they fought against eight hundred cossacks, 9 infantry battalions, and four rifle companies.
Eventually they were crushed in Benoi.
@@Halid175 It's not a lie & it's very well documented and a generally acknowledged fact that Shaamil gave up, while his Chechen units still continued to fight and broke the Encirclement
Cope you fanboy
@@Halid175 Chechens first were reasonable & realistic & went for a peaceful integration into the Russian empire, knowing that they could not win in the Long run But then Those radical Avar Imam's with their wild ambitions of an Islamic state ruined it for the Chechens by convincing them with religious speeches & exploiting them & their warriors for their own ambitions // Those Imams were literally carried By Chechen warriors, Because they found no support from their own Avar population at first, On top that, Chechnya was on the fore front of Russia's Imperial destruction, it's the Chechen people that suffered the most from this war,
But When eventually it came to a point where the Avar population was about to receive the Russian answer, What did Imam Shaamil do ??? HE SURRENDERED
Didn't mind waging a Jihad at the cost of Chechen lives, But when his own people were at risk, he simply threw in the white flag and became part of the Russian empire
This is why you should never trust religious preachers, they are just gonna exploit you and then sell you out the moment their own skin is at risk
as a matter of fact the remaining Chechen units, Murids & Naibs that had aided Shaamil still continued to fight the Russians after Shaamils Surrender, That's how weak hearted Shaamil is, He didn't go all the way, He was selfish & just like those other Imams before him
the Chechens should've just ignored them and left them to fend on their own instead of being at their vanguard
@@Halid175 On May 8, 1860, Baysangur and former naibs of Shamil Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev raised a new uprising in Chechnya. In June of the same year Baysangur's men defeated the Russian Ossetian Muslim Major-General Musa Kundukhov in combat near the town Fachu. Atabi Atayev's rebels thwarted attempts to strengthen the forces of Russian commander Nikolay Yevdokimov, and Duyev's forcesfreed the villages of the Argun Gorge from Russian control. The total strength of the rebel forces at that time reached 1,500. In November, they fought against eight hundred cossacks, 9 infantry battalions, and four rifle companies.
Baysangur's zeal and courage was noted by Imam Shamil in the diary of his bailiff Colonel A. I. Runovsky:[7]
After a good dinner, when the younger members of the imam's large family left the dining room, the eldest of Shamil's sons, Gazi-Muhammad, who had recently returned from Temir-Khan-Shura, began to tell the latest news from the Caucasus. At the end of the conversation, Gazi-Muhammad mentioned a small episode related to the indomitable Chechen naib Baysangur from Benoi, who, even after the surrender of Imam Shamil, did not stop resistance and did not lay down his arms, continuing the fight along with his other brothers in arms, now former Chechen naibs of Shamil - Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev.
Adjutant wing Colonel Chertkov sent negotiators on behalf of the Russian command to Baysangur with a proposal to surrender, - said Gazi-Muhammad. Baysangur met the negotiators in the woods near the old cemetery. In response to a tempting offer to save his life, the one-eyed, one-armed and one-legged sixty-six-year-old warrior pointed to the nearest graves in the cemetery and said with a grin: "Talk to them about your case - they will hear you better than me."
Shamil, who was attentively listening to his son's story, said thoughtfully: "Yes, this is such a person, I know him well, he would never change his word ..." For a moment, the former imam thought he heard the howling of wolves from the very depths of the dense Chechen forests. And as if shaking off this obsession, he resolutely added: "But, however, he wants nothing more than to die fighting against the infidels."
- Andrey Zakharovich Runovskiy, Diary of Colonel Runovsky
@@Halid175 That was Shaamil's own fault for exploiting the Chechens and using scorch earth tactics on their territory and letting them bare the brunt of the Russian destruction
He exploited the very people that were crucial to the establishment of his Imamate to begin with and when their numbers started to lower and defect to the Russian side, his imamate fell apart & when his own people were at risk, he surrendered While Baysangur did not and Fought on
@@Halid175 On May 8, 1860, Baysangur and former naibs of Shamil Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev raised a new uprising in Chechnya.

Very interesting...
I am a geneticist and one thing I find extremely curious is chechens resemble more closer to french and germans then russians or turks ......
Shave the beards and you cant tell the difference between germans or french ..... Blows my mind.
Then you get into the DNA and it's even crazier!!!!
People did not believe i was muslim because i looked like a native german
@@Balkanovic10 I know right 👍 buuuuut religion has no racial relation strictly speaking from a scientific outlook..... Being white and Muslim in a world of Christians make Chechens the odd ball of the family.
For example there are Japanese Muslims not many but you get the idea.
If you are Chechen and look German this would only go to show how evident genetic migration is in human history.
If you look at the caucuses you see a smorgasbord the different genetic tracers that you find in other European DNA ...
@@Balkanovic10Are you Bosnian?
And today Chechens are helping secure Russia’s most vulnerable border against the influence of a hostile military alliance. Got to love how things change throughout history. Russia was Chechnya’s worst enemy
Chechens sold out their independence during the Second Chechen War.
I mean that is often the Case when conquered people are under foreign rulership for more generations. Just look at the Cossacks, They were once also the most revolting group withing the Russian sphere but then at one point the turn it all around and basicly became the force that crushed every other revolt against the Czar. Same thing with the Hungarians within Austria-Hungaria, in exchange for some privilliges for their people they formed very loyal military groups, not every generation wants to sacrifice everyone and everything in revolts instead they usually aspire for a better live within the new system at some point.
The Slavs, at first, raided Rome, robbed it, terrified it, but then they began to fight on its side (on the side of the Byzantine empire) and actively bargain, as a result of which the first Slavic states appeared.
The Russians themselves constantly experienced raids from the south (before the invasion of the Mongols). These were the Pechenegs, and then the Polovtsians. Naturally, in the future it was necessary to pursue a policy aimed at reducing these cases: either destroy them or take over. The second option was chosen.
If your country has many land borders with others, then it is better to find a way to reconcile or suppress.
@@denniseggert211 they're no longer Cossacks. They consider themselves Cossacks, but they are not Cossacks. The real modern Cossacks are the so-called "thieves in law" (they are the cultural heirs of Arianism and Cossack life), but they are already a little different from what they used to be.
@@denniseggert211 it hasn't been generations for Chechens. It's been 1 max. They sold out within a generation as Shamil Basayev and Dudayev were sold out by Kadyrov.
Very impressive
May Allah reward you
Thank you for video
I was expecting that there would be at least mentioned Sheikh Mansur
And about the letter for "chechen pagans' ....
It creates a feeling in the viewer that Chechens was pagans at times imam Shamil which is totally wrong
I wrote my thesis on the Caucasian War, namely the war in the North-Eastern Caucasus. And the most interesting thing is the constant metamorphosis of the perception of the Caucasian war. What is the strangest, most objective of all, Russian society perceived Shamil in tsarist times, at the end of the 19th century, without taking into account the class component. And the Marxists saw the Caucasian War most correctly. They clearly saw that in addition to the struggle of the feudal lords, the clergy and the Russian military administration, there was a huge class movement of the peasantry.
See you in 1839, Shamil fled to the Chechens with one fellow traveler. He fled precisely to Boysangur. It was under the proteges of Boysangur and Jobi-Solta-Murad and with the consent of the spiritual leader of Chechnya Tashov-Khadzhi Sayasansky (Kumyk by nationality), at the Chechen Mekhk-Kkhelle (parliament), Shamil was elected Imam of Chechnya. From time immemorial, the Chechens had a strict tradition of not choosing rulers from among themselves, in order to prevent the advantage of one clan over another.
Shamil’s first decree, oddly enough, was directed specifically against the Dagestanis. The decree read: if a Dagestani is not on the path of Gazavat, then his property is halal for the belligerents.
After the brilliant victories won by the Chechens over the colonialists, Avaria joined Chechnya. As always happens with Caucasians, successes turned Shamil’s head. Having forgotten his previous grievances, Shamil began to surround himself with naibs from among the Dagestanis. The Chechens, who were the main donor in the Caucasian War, were ripening alienation in Shamil’s policy. The last patience came when Shamil announced at the Majalis that his son would become his successor. After this, Shamil’s power began to rapidly melt away. Shamil vainly appealed to the Chechens to continue Gazavat, but the Chechens no longer heard him.
The Chechens gave Shamil the opportunity to leave in peace. Having entrusted the defense of Vedeno to the Andians and Avars, Shamil, plunging all his property (books and jewelry) under the silent gaze of the Chechens, freely left for Dagestan. Vedeno was taken by the first attack; only 2 soldiers were killed among the Russians. Not finding the slightest support in Dagestan, he moved further and further. Every day his naibs fled to the Russians and they already acted as guides for the Russians in the pursuit of Shamil. The Chechens silently allowed Shamil to leave in peace. The Dagestanis not only did not help him at this difficult moment, but, on the contrary, robbed his caravan that was carrying treasures, despite the fact that the Chechens let him through unhindered
IMAM SHAMIL fought for 24 years and 10 months. His sister, so that her body would not be touched by the Russians, threw herself off a cliff and died. He gave one of his sons to the Russians to save his soldiers; after many years he returned and died in Dagestan. Dozens of Avar villages in Dagestan were burned for their obscurity. Another son, after the end of the war in Dagestan, moved to Turkey and became the head of the Dagestan regiment in Turkey. Truly, this is a legendary person. May Allah forgive his sins.
you are a real liar. in the book of Imam Shamil’s personal scribe, Muhammad Tahir Al Karahi, there are essays from those times. You don’t see a log in your own eye, but you notice a speck in someone else’s eye
@@zhelezyakaaaон умер когда поехал в хадж в Мекке и там же похоронен

A timeless story.
the dude literally did the same thing to napoleon and he didnt think about it thirty years later? like, dude literally fell for his own trap in that sense. military brilliance on imam's part
Thank you Hikma for another excellent documentary. I'm Irish and I spent three weeks in Dagestan about 11 years ago. I noticed that the locals drank more alcohol than even my people, which is saying something. I found them friendly and inquisitive, but nothing like the Arabs in the Middle East where I spent 7 years. I'm not saying that the had no interest in Islam, but I didn't witness many observing the five pillars and the Masjids were relatively empty. They are very moderate, especially the younger ones, and I even came across mixed marriage between Muslim and Orthodox couples. The Dagestanies were more interested in tribal unity and family than Islam. Not all of course as there were practising Muslims there but it certainly wasn't the most important thing for the people. I went and visited some ancient Christian churches dating to the 9th century and the locals protected them because respect for their ancestors meant everything to them. Never went to Chechnya as the locals told me that they were more religious and anti western even though it was the Dagestanies that introduced Islam to the Chechans. God bless
Didn't Putin basically commit a RIDICULOUSLY well known and transparent false flag bombing on the Chechnyan folk? I seem to be remembering something along these lines.
Im not being deliberately obtuse, im just honestly tired AF and this isn't my specific wheelhouse as a 15W Drone Op, but I have every reason to believe he absolutely did order it, for multiple reasons.
1. He had communicated at MANY different points in time over long periods that he wanted a reunited USSR. It's his raison d'etre, after all.
2. He is former FSB, and was reputedly and ON RECORD as being extremely ruthless and willing to cross ANY line in order to achieve his goal. In other words, the ends always justified the means for him.
3. His entire modus operandi aligns perfectly with this sort of subterfuge (false flags/"dirty" war tactics). Again, FSB and "the ends always justify the means" as a driving feature of his personality.
4. He had nothing to lose and quite literally everything to gain, given the time period, its extremely unlikely that he would have ever even been outed or exposed for the disgusting fucking decision to bomb that place, but anyone in the intel community, amateur or not, would know that. It's part and parcel of being in the FSB in the first place. e.g. "Wetworks" or "Shadow Ops". They do not get exposed to the public eye or court of public opinion, especially given how easily stifled any whistleblower can be, made MUCH worse by the fact this happened in Russia.
Wikipedia has a write up on the “1999 Russian Apartment Bombings”
No mention of Ushurma?
You're right..its a western propaganda..for political reasons the west always denied Imam Mansour's Chechen roots..they don't want a great hero like him who united the Caucuses nations under the right banner to be mentioned anywhere..they even claim he's Italian not Chechen 😏
Great video, but you need some maps.
Thanks and I couldn’t agree more, working on that now!
before Imam Shamil, there was also the first imam of the Caucasus, Sheikh Mansur, your story is not complete
there were a lot , i guess Shamil is the biggest one because he was fighting 35 years , unlike others like Mansur (6 years)
who would win in a fight Khabib or Imam Shamil?
Shamil obviously khabib is just a boxer lmao.
one look from imam shamil and khabib puts himself in a triangle immediately
With or without Sword??

So we can all agree that Murad didn't actually jump from a cliff and survive.
It’s too often overlooked that Russia not only was every bit as much a European colonial empire as Britain, France, Spain and so forth, but unlike those empires, it never really decolonized. The breakup of the Soviet Union was a partial decolonization, but most of Russia’s empire has remained intact, as has its colonialist, chauvinist mentality. That’s why Putin called the USSR collapse “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century” and is now waging a war to try and reconquer Ukraine.
The conquistadors of the Nordic Russian people were the tanned Mediterraneans ( tatars) and also Asians ( Genghis khan)
Likewise, the US hasn't yet decolonised and has persued a foreign policy of world hegemony / unipolarity.
Break up of ussr was a decoration by Moscow. In reality Moscow continue controlling this countries with marionettes by soviet style, include Ukraine. Naive west believe Russia become normal country but it was naive and stupid
Clown, the laws were the same like in other pars of russia! And yes, russian territories were attaced, the people were enslaverde and murdered in the name of islam!
They need women after all earth money tree grow under their finger tips. Russia is winner? No ultimate power is farm lands and females!!

Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453.
Any one can look up the ancient Anatolian Kingdom of Pontus, Greeks from the Black sea. It's pretty underrated in this video.
Mithridates VI, who proved to be as formidable a foe to Rome as Hannibal. Mithridates VI, [ Rome's deadliest enemy ].
He has been called the greatest ruler of the Kingdom of Pontus. He cultivated an immunity to poisons by regularly ingesting sub-lethal doses; this practice, now called mithridatism, is named after him. After his death, he became known as Mithridates the Great.
There were Greek settlements in the Black Sea, there are about 70 to 90 colonies.
King Mithridates spoke over 20 Languages collected great libraries knowledge art and technology. King Mithridates also wrote books will known as the Poison king.
King Mithridates may have designed the first computer called Antikythera mechanism. One of King Mithridates wife's was an Amazonian woman who rode into battle on horseback and many Romans met their fate by her sword, indeed. Known to have killed off the Roman general Manious acquiesce by pouring molten gold down his throat mimicked years later with others.
Greetings from Dagestan 👋😊
Dagestan is a very nice part of Russia
Brother story of Imamate started not from Gazi Muhammad it started from Sheikh Mansur and with Shamil Imamate ended. So you are telling history of late Imamate
there was no Imamate with Mansur , Mansur was separated but he led many nations , Ghazi Muhamed was the one founded imamate
How many Khabib fans here?
when circassians, ingush, chechens, lezgins and laks become unified, they will reclaim their territories and free themselves from their shackles
but as long as they are divided, no freedom will be possible
That's so true. As an Arab, I feel you.Same issue ; divided we die together we conquer
@hsjshdnjsjsm2830 you should open a history book for the first time of the history ,it will not hurt you ,it'll keep you from humiliating yourself further by s****** up to the Russians
there did you get your sources? what pagan chechens are you talking about?! chechens being muslims were on the edge of fighting with russian before dagestanian imams under sheikh Ushurma Mansour! imam Mansour united all caucases people in 18 century
IMAM SHAMIL fought for 24 years and 10 months. His sister, so that her body would not be touched by the Russians, threw herself off a cliff and died. He gave one of his sons to the Russians to save his soldiers; after many years he returned and died in Dagestan. Dozens of Avar villages in Dagestan were burned for their obscurity. Another son, after the end of the war in Dagestan, moved to Turkey and became the head of the Dagestan regiment in Turkey. Truly, this is a legendary person. May Allah forgive his sins.
What an honourable death Imam Shamil got, in the holy city of Medinatul Munawara
Автор черкесы самые пострадавшие в войнах против росс империи , чеченецы тоже немало пострадали , а дагестанцы всегда были лояльны врагу, даже и Шамиля выгнали с дагестана, изучи историю подробно и тогда только делай ролики про кавказ

Where is Iran in this story?
Check out my video on ‘How Iran Lost The Caucusus’, that acts a prelude to this conflict.
There is an Iranian ethnic group in the Caucasus the Alans/Irons the direct descendants of the Scythians and Sarmatians/Asi of Eastern Europe who influenced the Caucasian tribes in the past. Too Bad the Alans/Irons or Ossetians today are a tiny Russian republic with less then 1 million population.
Wasn’t one of the Generals involved in these wars named Rurik?
39:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣
that's some intelligent response
What is important to understand about the Caucasus and why the Russian Empire conquered South Asia. These people constantly stole Russian people and sold them into slavery. Therefore, the capture of these territories was essential for security and stopping the capture of Russians into slavery. Well, then when it was already captured. The empire simply had to expand and there were plans to capture Persia, Afghanistan in order to reach India and have a trade route to the Indian Ocean. But in the end, the Russian Empire was destroyed during the First World War and we did not see these seizures. Who knows what history would have been like if Russia had somehow survived the First World War. The worst thing about empires is that the emperor will send you to wars in different parts of the world just to capture a new land and so that the emperor and his friends become richer when you, like an ordinary Russian, British, French, just die on some godforsaken land. I hope that Putin's empire will end and the Russians will be able to do more attractive and kinder things than trying to seize territories.
Nothing like that. This is an eternal lie and just an excuse for Muscovites to attack their neighbors. Until now, their hosts inspires them that the whole world is hostile and plots against them. For example, the fact that little Ukraine is preparing an attack. Muscovites are the worst of people. As soon as they open their mouths, they are already lying.
Don't believe a word they say. Russia is a cancerous tumor on the body of the earth.

Russia never conquered Chechnya just occupied! Chechens never stoped to seek independence even after active war was over rebellions never stoped for example at the time germany attacked ussr in 1941 another large scale rebellion was going on in Chechnya and all mountain districts there not under control of moscow even after chechens there totally exiled to kazakhstan rebellions in 1944 and came back in 1957 there were individuals fighting alone or in small groups last of them was killed in 1976 at age 74 years he was fighting from 1939 till his last day!

It would be good if people around the world -- especially in African, Asian and American ex-colonies -- learnt more about that brutal European empire they support. Muscovy is the only remaining European (well, sort of) empire and it has held on to most of its conquests. It has lost its most recent European conquests (those from 1939-1945) and seem to be losing many of its 19th-century conquests. Or so it is to be hoped.
They like Russia because Russia is strong and wont bow down to the US like many other countries do
What country anywhere on earth doesn’t have a brutal history? The European powers have just been most successful. With that being said I am no supporter of colonialism we need to take care of our homelands and we people who have been incessantly sent to die across the globe for the prestige of the wealthy and to plunder resources to keep them wealthy.

Similar marriages existed. B.K.Dalgat wrote about it this way: “When his wife dies, a widower can marry the sister of his deceased wife, so that she can better look after the children, because another stepmother would treat them badly; For the sake of the children left by his brother, a brother can marry his brother’s wife (in the past this happened more often than now..

When Shamil was captured, he was shown a map of Russia. After that he said, that if only he knew he was fighting with such a huge country with such amount of nationalities, he would never have fought with Russia. After than, in his letters, he asked Dagestanis to live peacefully with Russia. For some people, Shamil is a symbol of courageousness, but for some of them he is a symbol of peace with Russia

@@schaihmansur8298 I was talking in a broader sense. They also won the great nothern war thanks to what I mentioned above.
Before Russia people of Caucasus suffered from invasion by Turkic invaders starting from Timur and until shah nadir. They invaded and attacked every region, exterminating villages and expending slave trade. All of them was forced to islamize at the edge of the sword. Small groups of kabardins preserved Christian religion up until days.
Furthermore, all these abuses by proselytizing invaders kept local population lucked out from further progress and kept them practically on medieval levels of development. They became sources for slave soldiers or beautiful girls for the overseas warlords which was more humiliating for highlanders than any other form of oppression
