Abstract
In the period between 1834 and 1859, the Russians had pursued a relentless campaign against the Chechen and other peoples of the Caucasus. Since an earlier date, Sheikh Shamil, a Moslem militant figure also known as Imam Shamil, had emerged as the leader of anti-Russian resistance. The command of the Russian forces headquartered in Tbilisi and charged with subduing the sheikh’s people was with Field Marshal Prince Aleksander Ivanovich Bariatinski, a descendant of the Ruriki dynasty that had founded Russia. After a series of inconclusive operations, finally, in 1859, the Bariatinski’s forces defeated the Chechen and captured the sheikh.
