Who is Kizbech?
Kizbech Tughuzhuqo was born in 1777 in the village of Beannash. His military activity in Circassia spanned the years 1810-1839. Due to his numerous victories in battle, he was known among the people by the nickname "Circassian Lion."
He participated in the Byzik Battle in 1796, where he almost lost his head and survived with a deep scar. Kizbech had battles where he emerged victorious against the Tsar's troops despite being outnumbered; for example, on one campaign, while leading 700 Shapsug horsemen, he dispersed a Tsarist detachment of 14,000 men.
During his attacks (raids), Kizbech used his own developed strategic techniques, such as the false retreat tactic that the Cossacks called the "luring technique." When the Cossacks, who were pursuing the mountaineers, became separated from their main forces, the "Circassian Lion" would attack them. Or another trick was to line up the riders like a "string." A rider would pretend to be fleeing from his pursuers, drawing them into a single file line behind him, then suddenly stop his horse, turn around, and cut them down with his sword 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 engaged in negotiations with him and repeatedly offered him a position in the service of the Russian Empire. However, the "Lion of the Circassians" always scorned such offers.
Legends preserved in Adyghe folklore depict him as a model soldier, endowed with fearlessness and relentless ferocity. Neither the death of his sons, nor the numerous wounds he received, nor old age could deprive Kizbech of his favorite occupation - 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 a staunch, old-school Shapsug all his life. And despite his advanced age, he did not die of old age, but succumbed to wounds received during the attack on the Veliaminov fortress on February 29, 1840.
