Description

Much has been written over the years about the Muslim 'Murid movement and its leader Shamil, who resisted the Tsarist Russian expansion into Chechan and Daghestan for more than a quarter of a century. This new study, based on painstaking research in multilingual archives, offers a fresh insight into a subject that generates constant controversy in Russian historiography and has often been misinterpreted by Western scholars.
