CENTURY-LONG RESISTANCE (1763-May 21, 1864) In the 18th century, the Russian Empire began to expand into the North Caucasus. In 1763, the Mozdok fortress was founded on the left bank of the Terek River, and a fortified border line was built leading to the Kizlyar fortress, which angered the Kabardian feudal lords. Since 1763, armed clashes between Circassians and Russian troops have begun in the Caucasus. The resistance of the Trans-Kuban Circassians continued until May 21, 1864, when their last stronghold, Kbaada, fell. The Circassians' stubborn resistance to Russian conquest was noted by many participants in the Caucasian War, as well as by contemporaries and historians of the subsequent era. Lieutenant Colonel I.D. Popko of the Black Sea Cossack Host: From the very first attempt, the Cossack cavalry was forced to yield to the Circassian cavalry, and was never again able to gain the upper hand, or even to match it. Russian poet M.Yu. Lermontov in his poem "Izmail-Bey": But the Circassians give them no rest; They disappear, then attack again. They are like a shadow, like a smoky vision, And far and near at the same moment. After the conquest of the Western Caucasus, a large number of Circassians (according to some 19th-century sources, several hundred thousand) were deported or forced to resettle in the Ottoman Empire, often due to pressure from the Russian administration. Currently, the majority of Circassians (Adyghe) live outside their historical homeland. The Circassian (Adyghe) diaspora numbers, according to various estimates, between 1.5 and 7 million people. According to the latest 2010 census, there are 718,727 Circassians (Adyghe) in Russia, primarily living in Adygea, the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, the Kabarda Republic, and the Krasnodar Krai. The Kuban Region was formed on the territory of Western Circassia. Eastern Circassia (Kabarda) became part of the Terek Region. History.
