Kuban Nogai Uprising
The Kuban Nogai Uprising of 1783 was the last significant attempt of the Nogai steppe nomads to resist the expansion of Russia. Its defeat opened the way for Slavic colonization of the lands north of the Caucasus and was an early step in the Russian conquest of the Caucasus. It resulted from the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Empire and tsarist plans to resettle the Nogais to the Urals. It was brutally suppressed in a few months by the troops under the command of Alexander Suvorov. Background For almost 300 years the Nogais north of the Black Sea had been theoretically subject to the Crimean Khanate which in turn was a vassal of the Ottoman Turks. The Kuban Nogais, being far to the east, tended to be more independent than the nearer groups. Russia slowly expanded southward pushing the Nogais south. As a result of the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774), the Crimean Khanate became independent of the Ottomans, but in fact became a Russian protectorate (1774 to 1783). The Russian- ...
