Description

Sheikh Mansur was a Chechen national hero who tried to defend the independence of the mountain peoples from the Russian Empire. Leading a popular uprising in the North Caucasus in 1785-1791, he won no small number of victories over the tsarist troops. The inequality of forces and weaponry, and discord among Mansur's supporters, took their toll - the sheikh was captured and ended his days in the Shlisselburg Fortress. His activity left a deep mark on the memory of the Chechens and other peoples of the Caucasus. Mansur became the forerunner of the great Imam Shamil, who considered himself his successor. The book by the well-known jurist, Professor Alaudin Musayev, examines in detail not only the life of the legendary sheikh but also the history of Chechnya and the customs of its people.
