Ахульго Имам Шамил

The history of wars knows a lot of heroic, tragic and outstanding, but even against their background stands apart the summer 80-day defense of Akhulgo in 1839. By this period, Nicholas I considered that the war with the Highlanders was too long. Additional military formations were transferred to the Caucasus, the more decisive and sensible Count Golovin was appointed as the next governor, who decided to crush the main center of the uprising of the 3rd imam of Chechnya and Dagestan Shamil - Akhulgo, located on two huge cliffs separated by a deep river gorge by the forces of the Separate Caucasian Corps Ashilt and washed from three sides by the waters of the Andean Koisu.
