Who is Taymaskha Gekhinskaya?
The name of the legendary young Chechen warrior, the famous Chechen cavalrywoman and commander of the Chechen Murid detachment, Taymaskha Gekhinskaya, came to the fore during the Caucasian War.
According to some legends, Taymaskha's parents were expecting a boy and had already decided on the name Taymaskhan for their child. However, when they saw that their baby was a girl, they gave her a slightly modified male name, which was unusual for a woman. Her life coincided with the difficult years of the Caucasian War, when the Chechens fought against the Tsarist authorities for their freedom and religion.
In the early 1830s, Taymashka went to war on her own, replacing her deceased brother. The soldiers, convinced of her fearlessness, elected her as the leader of the detachment.
Largely due to her courage and skillful leadership, the Gekhinskaya detachment was not defeated by the Tsarist troops for 10 years. However, in 1842, in a battle near the road of Bolshoy Yandyrka, Taymashka was seriously wounded, lost consciousness, and was captured along with 23 other Chechen soldiers.
Gekhinskaya was taken to St. Petersburg and spent 3 weeks there. There she was received by the Emperor. Nicholas I, impressed by the Chechen girl's courage and beauty, rewarded her very generously: Taymaskha Gekhinskaya was presented with a valuable gold chain with a locket by the Emperor's wife, Alexandra Feodorovna. Some time later, Taymaskha was handed over to the Groznaya fortress.
