History[edit]

they broke into Stavropol "... In November 1835, the Abazines concentrated their forces to strike back at the Black Sea Cossacks and Russian regular units that invaded their territory. The Abazins stormed into Stavropol, the capital of the so-called "government of the Caucasus," and took with them 1,700 prisoners and 8,000 cattle. 300 of the captured prisoners were people who held a high position in Stavropol: officers, merchants, bankers. There was also a high-ranking Russian military officer, a general, as they say; he was captured along with his staff. This is the second raid on Stavropol committed by the Abaza over the past year. For the first time, they captured up to 800 prisoners..."
