Who is Sheikh Mansur?

Sheikh Mansur, the military, religious, and political leader of the Caucasian mountaineers in the late 18th century, was the first Imam of the Caucasus. He was born in 1760 in the village of Aldy.

Mansur was one of the first to understand that the Caucasian peoples needed to unite in their struggle for independence. He secured the alliance of the Chechens from the Assa River to Aksai and Aktash, that is, from the peaks of the main Caucasus mountain range to the Terek River. Sheikh Mansur set a difficult but noble goal: to unite all the mountain peoples of the Caucasus into a single state under the principles of Islam, under the "Sharia of the Prophet." By the end of 1785, many units began to gather, forming an army that reached ten thousand people. From 1785 to 1791, Sheikh Mansur led the uprising of many mountaineers against the Tsarist forces. This was the first mass armed uprising of the North Caucasian peoples against the Tsarist regime and was of great historical importance.

In 1791, exhausted from a wound, Mansur was captured during the attack by Tsarist troops on the Turkish fortress of Anapa (1787-1791 Russo-Turkish War). On the personal instruction of the Russian Empress Catherine the Great, Sheikh Mansur was transferred to St. Petersburg and then imprisoned in the Shlisselburg fortress. Here he became seriously ill and died on April 13, 1794.
