When Dagestan & Chechnya Defeated Russia | Caucasus History

How Dagestan & Chechnya Resisted Russia:

I have to thank @StoicHistorian for his help with the research and script!

Street Food Channel:

15 years after the Murid’s rose up in the Caucasus, Russia was still unable assert their rule in the region. Under their enigmatic leader, Imam Shamil, the Murids continued to harass the Tsar’s forces with their guerrilla warfare tactics. Despite repeated Russian victories, Imam Shamil was not discouraged. For him and his followers, this was a war to the death, where surrender was not an option. This perseverance would pay off; having bolstered his forces throughout the first half of the 1840s, Imam Shamil was besieged in his Chechen stronghold of Dargo by a Russian force in 1845. What ensued was the biggest victory for the Murids of the entire war and served to highlight the military genius of Shamil.

Awesome video, can’t wait to see how you tell the rest of Shamils story

[animatedislamichistory]

The military genius of some of these muslim figures makes for quite the story! Thanks for the well-put mini-series on Dagestan & Chechnya wars

[jankopransky]

It is great that you're dealing with this topic! Thank you!

[robwalsh]

Thank you for these videos. I've always been interested in the culture and history of the Caucasus.

[papazataklaattiranimam]

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 .

[papazataklaattiranimam]

Through his strong will and military genius, Shamil managed to arrest the process of his military and political decline for a short period of time .

I am fascinated by this channel!
Amazing work, plz continue making videos and never stop!

After reading the book, "Hadji Murad" by Leo Tolstoy, I wanted to know more about Shamil and his war waged against the Russian imperial army, great video as well Hikma!

[Squatziomodo]

I think kavkaz is fine :) Maybe just do a reminder when you do it first time in the video to remind those who don't know, or something to that effect.

[n.k]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge .. I didn't know that of entire life. our brothers from chechan, cocauses regions history... lots of love from INDIA 🇮🇳

[Rashrash]

I'm a new subscriber, this is brilliant, please do some more videos on Imam Shamil and avar culture and society. Thanks

[mohammedumarsiddiqui]

Please show maps so we can know what area you are talking about.

[Kierkergaarder]

Thank you again, a satisying end to this particular story of the Murids. Always enjoy these stories of the depressing/inexorable conqueat of the Russian Empire... despite the setbacks. Not that I'm not rooting for the Kafkazian/Central Asian figures. More the retrospective doomed romanticism. Have a good weekend, I truly appreciate your work and voice so much!

[EiChing]

I read a great biography about Imam Shamil! I have been fascinated ever since.

[zaltanking]

Alhamdulillah, I’ve been waiting for this video

[unusualhistorian]

It does not matter if you say something else instead of Caucasus. Just mention what Kafkas means at the start of your videos so the newcomers understand.

[tippptip]

Bro you missed a great part of Caucasus history ...we need video about the first imam of North Caucasus, one of the greatest warrior of Caucasus - Shaykh Mansoor from Chechnya

[pathangzia]

Love your videos and I approve of using kavkas

[runaalmanaha]

Author, please make a video about the Sarir State. It is Avar state in the Caucasus (VI - XII). Very cool would be
