ok

“Later on, the Russian presence strengthened and the highlanders of Western Caucasia were finally subjugated by Russia in 1864.[citation needed] The autonomy of Abkhazia, which had functioned as a pro-Russian "buffer zone" in this troublesome region, was no longer needed by the Tsarist government and the rule of the Shervashidze came to an end; in November 1864, Prince Michael was forced to renounce his rights and resettle in Voronezh.[citation needed] Later that same year, Abkhazia was incorporated into the Russian Empire as a special military province[4] of Sukhum-Kale which was transformed, in 1883, into an okrug as part of the Kutais Guberniya. Large numbers of Muslim Abkhazians, said to have constituted as much as 40% of the Abkhazian population, emigrated to the Ottoman Empire between 1864 and 1878 with other Muslim population of Caucasus, a process known as Muhajirism.”

@Deleted UserAbkhazia wasn't really independent at that time period. It was like a self governing province under Georgian rule

Hello there

Greetings

Sort of like Transnistria

@Deleted User this guy right here is a cossack

Yeah

The Transnistria War was an armed conflict that broke out in November 1990 in Dubăsari (Russian: Дубоссáры, Dubossary) between pro-Transnistria forces, including the Transnistrian Republican Guard, militia and Cossack units

the fact that the tatars and bashkirs can willing convert to Orthodoxy as opposed to the Chechens tells us something

Muslimisation of N. Caucasus ruined the region. Before that The region was mostly christian

Temurlan really ruined everything

Yeah they had to pull out the Russians at some point because the UN has smoll pp

Moldova is just romania

The North Kavkas was only Christian a short time

Not really

the Georgians tried to evangelize to the Dagestani pagans

They converted quite quickly

Well, i mean chechens and ingushians

Dagestan is a region I will never touch

So many fucking pagan beliefs and ethnicities

And languages

Caucasian paganism is still relevant in Dagestan?

There are like 50 languages in Caucuses

@Arkona 92 Well in some places, but it's still mostly muslim

Ossetians are high in Paganism

While the rest is mostly orthodox
