The history of the Caucasus as part of Russia is dramatic and complex. It is replete with numerous stereotypes and contradictions. "Attempts to provide a definitive definition of the Caucasian War seem futile," historian Vladimir Lapin writes of the events of 1817-1864. In his new book, he debunks the "Yermolov myth" and describes in detail how the annexation of not only Chechnya and Dagestan, but also other regions in the Caucasus, actually occurred.
This publication presents the military events of that time in a completely new light, including the activities of Imam Shamil. The formulaic description, built on an imperial narrative and later partially adopted by Soviet historiography, bears little resemblance to reality, as Vladimir Lapin convincingly demonstrates in his book.
Vladimir Lapin is a Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, and Research Fellow in the Faculty of History at the European University at St. Petersburg, and a leading researcher at the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Specialist in the field of military history of Russia from the 18th to the early 20th century, history of memory, and imperial history.
