Hadji Murat (novel)
''Hadji Murat'', also written ''Hadji Murad'' (), is a novella written by Leo Tolstoy from 1896 to 1904 and published posthumously in 1912 (though not the full text until 1917). Its titular protagonist Hadji Murat is an Avar rebel commander who, to gain revenge, forges an uneasy alliance with the Russians he has been fighting. Inspiration The theme of struggle while remaining faithful resonated with an ailing Tolstoy as he approached death. His letters suggest that this work gave him a brief, final moment of vigor. Just as the author struggled with failing health, his meditation on a man refusing to give in to the demands of the world helped him to complete the book, although he did not intend to publish it and was only concerned with its completion. In addition to the theme of resistance, determinism is a major theme, as it is in '' War and Peace''. An even clearer theme is the struggle between Christian Russia and Muslim Caucasian Imamate, the classic West vs. East theme fo ...

People From Dagestan
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Composers From Dagestan
A composer is a person who writes music. The term is especially used to indicate composers of Western classical music, or those who are composers by occupation. Many composers are, or were, also skilled performers of music. Etymology and definition The term is descended from Latin, ''compōnō''; literally "one who puts together". The earliest use of the term in a musical context given by the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' is from Thomas Morley's 1597 ''A Plain and Easy Introduction to Practical Music'', where he says "Some wil be good descanters ..and yet wil be but bad composers". "Composer" is a loose term that generally refers to any person who writes music. More specifically, it is often used to denote people who are composers by occupation, or those who work in the tradition of Western classical music. Writers of exclusively or primarily songs may be called composers, but since the 20th century the terms 'songwriter' or 'singer-songwriter' are more often used, partic ...
