Description

In this monograph, the president of the Academy of Sciences of the Chechen Republic, Doctor of Historical Sciences and professor Shakhrudin Aydiyevich Gapurov examines the political development of Chechnya in 1816-1827, that is, the period when General A. P. Yermolov was commander-in-chief and chief administrator (viceroy) in the Caucasus. It shows the place and role of Chechnya in Yermolov's plans for the conquest of the peoples of the North Caucasus. It notes that A. P. Yermolov's repressive policy in Chechnya (punitive expeditions, a military-economic blockade, and the expulsion of Chechens from the lowland lands into the mountains) provoked armed Chechen resistance as early as 1818, which is considered the beginning of the Caucasian War. At the same time, it notes that the Chechen population of the Terek and Sunzha river basins made every effort to avoid armed confrontation with Russia, seeking peaceful, compromise ways of resolving the problems that arose. The work gives a characterization of A. P. Yermolov's contradictory and complex personality. It emphasizes that, by the end of A. P. Yermolov's Caucasian campaign, his views on the methods of subduing Chechnya underwent a significant change, amounting to an actual abandonment of military-coercive measures in favor of political-economic ones.
