SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Much has been written over the years about the Muslim 'Murid movement and its leader Shamil, who resisted the Tsarist Russian expansion into Chechan and Daghestan for more than a quarter of a century. This new study, based on painstaking research in multilingual archives, offers a fresh insight into a subject that generates constant controversy in Russian historiography and has often been misinterpreted by Western scholars.
