The North Caucasus Line (Russian Language, Russian: Кавказская линия) was a line of Russia, Russian forts and Cossack settlements along the north side of the Caucasus, Caucasus Mountains. Originating in the mid-16th century with a small number of free Cossacks near the Caspian Sea, from the mid-18th century the line was pushed west and used as a base to conquer the mountains to the south and to settle the steppes to the north. Background Geography The distribution of Cossack settlements was determined by three roughly parallel lines. The first was the line between the Caucasus foothills and the lowlands. The second was the line between forest and steppe. It is difficult to trace this line, as much of the forest has been cleared for agriculture, but it is clear that a belt of forest steppe extended north of the foothill ...

Battle Of Gimry
The Battle of Gimry, fought on 17–18 October 1832 during the Murid War, was General 's capture of Ghazi Muhammad's headquarters at Gimry. Ghazi Muhammad was killed, but Imam Shamil managed to escape. In early October, Velyaminov left Temir-Khan-Shura (Buynaksk) 25km to the east. The route led through early snow across a broad and level plateau which slowly rises from 1,500 feet to 6,000 feet and then suddenly drops 5,000 feet down into the canyon of the north-flowing Avar Koysu. In many places the canyon walls are almost vertical. Gimry is on the east side of the river at the mouth of a side canyon which extends about 7km southeast. There were two paths down into the canyon, neither of which was fit for an army. Velyaminov chose the eastern one leading to the head of the side canyon where the drop is about 3,000 feet. (Today there is a long automobile tunnel from the plateau to the head of the side canyon.) Taking advantage of the morning mist, Velyaminov got his advance gua ...

Ghazi Muhammad
(; ; – 1832), called Kazi-Mulla () or Kazi-Magoma () in Russian sources, was a Dagestani religious and political leader who served as the first imam (religious, political, and military leader) of Dagestan and Chechnya from 1828 to 1832. He led armed resistance against Russian expansion into the Caucasus until his death in battle in 1832. After studying under several notable teachers, Ghazi Muhammad joined the Naqshbandi Sufi order and became a reputed Islamic scholar. He promoted adherence to sharia over customary law (''adat''), attracting many followers but often clashing with local secular and religious leaders. He initially advocated for passive resistance to Russian expansion, but further Russian encroachment in 1829, or the refusal of local leaders to accept his demands to adopt sharia, caused him to change his position. He was proclaimed imam in late 1829 and declared a holy war (called '' ghazavat'') against the Russians in 1830. At the peak of his power in 1831, he ...
