Vienna, March 8 – The Circassians need the kind of ethnic lobby other groups have to set priorities, work with other nations when possible and put pressure on the Russian government when necessary not only to achieve their goals but also to allow the numerous Circassian public organizations to recover their influence rather than continue to fight among themselves.
That argument is advanced today by Osman Mazukabzov, the director general of KavkazWeb.net and Adyga.org, who says that the Circassians must take this step in order to combat "the lack of respect” that the Russian Olympic Committee and the Russian government more generally have shown their nation (www.natpress.net/stat.php?id=5109).
According to Mazukabzov, the Circassians "are experiencing extremely significant changes in [their] social and political life” because of Moscow’s decision to "exclude” the Circassians, "the indigenous ...

Evil Russian Imperialism Haunting Diaspora Circassians
Introduction
Unfortunately, there is
a phenomenon that levels the Circassian communities where some individuals who
employ negative effects on their communities are working their best to provide
suspicious services that is meant to be there to divert and scatter the Circassian
constants, and to "try” to drag Circassians to be preoccupied with matters
other than the main task of interest and concern to all of them alike.
The development of
Russian imperialism in Circassia since Russian ambitious plans had been
launched to conquer and occupy Circassia had been developed for implementation
in order to reach the warm waters of the Black see irrespective what the
consequences would be, which turned to be a total destruction of Circassia,

deportation that sent a big portion of the ... >> full

In 1838, the Russian navy sent troops to four locations: the mouth of Sochi River (April 13), the mouth of Tuapse River (May 12), the mouth of Shapsoukho River (July 10) and the Tsemez River (September 12). In July 1838, the headquarters of Russian General Rayevski were visited by a delegation of Circassians who demanded an end to all the illegal construction of military fortifications and a halt to Russian encroachment on Circassian territories. The Russian general responded by asking them to submit to "our great emperor.” He was annoyed by the presence of English advisors and instructors in Circassia and stated: "I know that Englishmen are hiding in your mountains; they confuse and reassure you about help from England, but believe me, they are fooling you and you will never receive any help. ... >> full

The great patriotic war known as the Circassian-Russian War of the years 1763-1864 left indelible memories among the nations scattered all over the world. Several of the Circassian leaders –esteemed for their courage and intelligence in commanding thousands of Circassian guerilla fighters against foreign Russian Tsarist expansion– are still remembered. One of the most legendary Circassian military commanders was Ismail Dagomuqua.
Numerous European accounts written by people who knew him provide a clear portrait of his noble character. The most detailed descriptions of Dagomuqua can be found in two volumes of Journal of a Residence in Circassia written during the years 1837, 1838, and 1839 by the noted British historian James Stanislaus Bell. Here is how Bell described his appearance: "Hadji, a tall graceful old man, with keen restless grey eyes, and who is ... >> full
