Who is Taymaskha Gekhinskaya?
The name of the legendary young Chechen warrior, the famous Chechen female cavalry member and commander of the Chechen Murid detachment, Taymaskha Gekhinskaya, became prominent during the Caucasian War.
According to some legends, Taymaskha's parents were expecting a baby boy and had already decided on the name Taymaskhan for their child. However, upon seeing 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, taking the place of 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 remained undefeated by the Tsarist troops for 10 years. However, in 1842, in a battle near the road to Bolshaya Yandyrka, Taymashka was severely 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 granted an audience with the Emperor. Nicholas I, impressed by the Chechen girl's courage and beauty, rewarded her very generously: A valuable gold chain with a locket was presented to Taymaskha Gekhinskaya by the Emperor's wife, Alexandra Feodorovna. Some time later, Taymaskha was handed over to the Groznaya fortress.
