Part 1 • Conquest of the Caucasus. From ancient Iran... Part 2 • Conquest of the Caucasus. Dagestan against I... The third part of the film "Conquest of the Caucasus". The most famous events that we were most often asked about in the comments to the previous two episodes, and the most famous characters. The leader of the Chechens and the first Chechen diplomat Beybulat Taymiev, Imam Shamil and his naib Hadji Murat, the leaders of the Circassians Kazbich and Hadji Berzek, the colonizer of the Caucasus General Ermolov. And also Pushkin, Griboyedov, Lermontov, Tolstoy, through whose eyes we often look at the events of those years. So, the 19th century. The Russian Empire annexed Georgia, deported the Georgian royal family and began the colonization of the North Caucasus. True, the Russian authorities stubbornly refuse to recognize this as colonization. And why Russia needs the Caucasus, which brings colossal losses, no one knows either. Meanwhile, the mountaineers are desperately resisting. Both in the east - in Dagestan and Chechnya, and in the west - in Circassia. But Russian textbooks write quite a lot about the war with Shamil. But the Russian authorities have always carefully hushed up what happened in Circassia and have not recognized the genocide of the Circassians to this day. In this issue, we talk about the war in Chechnya and Dagestan, and how the Circassians were evicted from their homelands, about the genocide of Armenians, about the revolution in the Caucasus and the first independent Caucasian republics.
