Russian Invasion and Exiled People    


        
Russian Tzardom invaded Altınordu and Kazan Khanates and expanded it borders to North Caucasia (Daghestan Region) in East at the end of 16th century. In the West (arount Black Sea), Crimean Khanate stayed as a buffer region between the Russia and Chechens until the end of 18th century. Peoples in the east of North Caucasia were forced to fight for their independence against Russian Tzardom from the beginning of 17th century while those peoples in the east  of North Caucasia faced the same faith from the end of 18th century. Georgia and Armenia in the South Caucasia attended to Russia Tzardom with their own will at the beginning of 19th century. Azerbaijan left to Russian Tzardom by Iran in 1828. Therefore, North Caucasia was surrounded by Russian Tzardom also in the south at the beginning of 19th century. Tzardom government set its first target as to invade North Caucasian with all its military power. Tzaradom Navy blockade Black Sea coacsts and cut their communication from the whole world.

      In 1830s, the most severe phase of North Caucasians’ identical fight for independence, right, land and freedom started against Russian armies of thousands of soldiers. In this last phase, North Caucasian people grew “the most famous guerilla leaders of the world war history” against invader forces, as an English historian stated. These leaders never attacked in Russian lands but fought for their freedom, right and independence of their country. In this phase, Western (English, French, German) writers were among North Caucasians and even some of them live for two or three years together with North Caucasian people and observed this severe defensive war. These western writers described North Caucasias as “civilized people” in their articles. They claimed that Russian armies were destroying a fundamental civilization.

      Western countries did to cover the help requirement of North Caucasian people and their Western friends. In this last phahe of defending war against invasion, there had been a barbarous massacre in North Caucasia and Russian armies killed hundred thousands of North Caucasians. This most severe long defending war of human history  ended in 1859 in Chechenia in the east of North Caucasia and lasted in 1864 in Sochi in the west, after which Russian invasion was completed. Invader Russian Army did not allow North Caucasians stay in the strategical places in the region. After the invasion was completed, about 1 million North Caucasian were forced to migrated through the Ottomand Land in difficult conditions. Thousands of people died on their way to exile. And invasion became a genocide. Being the reminder of this historical reality to whole humanity, we are the great-grandsons of these exiled people to the Ottomand Land as a result of the invasion of North Caucasia by Russian Tzardom armies. Russian Tzaradom settled Kazaks and Russians from 1864 instead of these exiled people from North Caucasia.
