Battle Of The Cherek River
The Battle of the Cherek River was a significant engagement during the Russo-Circassian War, taking place on April 30, 1810, near the Cherek River in Kabarda and Balkaria, regions in the North Caucasus. The battle pitted Russian imperial forces under General S. A. Bulgakov against a coalition of Kabardian and Balkar fighters resisting Russian encroachment on their lands. Background In the early 19th century, the Russian Empire intensified efforts to assert control over the North Caucasus, including Kabarda. As resistance escalated in 1809–1810, Russian forces were deployed to prevent the Kabardinian population from retreating into the mountains. Opposing nobles were arrested or sentenced, and under heavy pressure, many Kabardinian princes capitulated, swearing allegiance to the Tsar and paying tribute in the form of 1,000 horses, 500 cattle, and 10,000 rubles. Despite this submission, many Kabardians remained defiant. In 1810, a large-scale punitive expedition was launched ...

Russo-Circassian War
The Russo-Circassian War, also known as the Russian invasion of Circassia, was the 101-year-long invasion of Circassia by the Russian Empire. The conflict started in 1763 ( O.S.) with Russia assuming authority in Circassia, followed by Circassian refusal, and ended with the last army of Circassia defeated on 21 May 1864 (O.S.). It was exhausting and casualty-heavy for both sides. The Russo-Circassian War was the longest war both Russia and Circassia have ever fought and the longest war in the Caucasus region.. During and after the war, the Russian Empire employed a genocidal strategy of systematically massacring civilians, resulting in the Circassian genocide,L.V.Burykina.

April 1810
April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian and Julian calendars. Its length is 30 days. April is commonly associated with the season of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. History The Romans gave this month the Latin name ''Aprilis''"April" in ''Chambers's Encyclopædia''. London: George Newnes, 1961, Vol. 1, p. 497. but the derivation of this name is uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb ''aperire'', "to open", in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open", which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of άνοιξη (''ánixi'') (opening) for spring. Since some of the Roman months were named in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to the goddess Venus, her Veneralia being held on the first day, it has been suggested that Aprilis was originally her month ...
