Who is Kizbech?
Kizbech Tughuzhuqo was born in 1777 in the village of Beannash. His military activity in Circassia coincided with the years 1810-1839. Due to his numerous victories in battles, he was known among the people by the nickname "Lion of Circassia."
In 1796, he participated in the Byzik battle where he almost lost his head and survived with a deep scar. There were battles where Kizbech emerged victorious against the Tsar's troops despite being outnumbered: for example, on one expedition, while leading 700 Shapsug cavalrymen, he dispersed a 14,000-strong Tsarist detachment.
During his attacks (raids), Kizbech used strategic techniques he developed himself, such as the feigned retreat tactic that the Cossacks called the "luring technique." When the Cossacks pursuing the mountaineers became separated from their own troops, the "Lion of Circassia" would attack them. Or another trick was to line up the riders like a "string." The rider would pretend to flee from his pursuers, drawing them into a line behind him, then suddenly stop his horse, turn around, and cut down the pursuers before they understood what was happening.
"A fleeing Circassian is still far from being a defeated warrior." As a warrior, Kizbech was highly respected among his opponents. Tsarist generals entered into negotiations with him and repeatedly offered him to switch to the service of the Russian Empire. However, the "Lion of Circassia" always scorned such offers.
Legends preserved in Adyghe folklore depict him as a model soldier fighting with fearlessness and relentless violence. Neither the death of his sons, nor the numerous wounds he received, nor old age could deprive Kizbech of his favorite trade - war. In his old age, he went to Mecca, but even the title of holy pilgrim could not calm the stubborn heart of the fierce rider within him; he remained an old-fashioned, stern Shapsug all his life. And despite being very old, he did not die of old age but from wounds received during an attack on the Veliaminov fortress on February 29, 1840.
