EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting postcard depicts the defeated body of Abrek Zelimkhan Gushmazukayev, a legendary Chechen resistance fighter, following his death on September 27, 1913. The image was captured by the victorious Russian forces who surrounded and killed him near Shali, in Chechnya. The background story leading to this moment began on October 10, 1905, when Russian police opened fire on a striking crowd at an industrial plant in Grozny, killing 17 people. A week later, Abrek Zelimkhan, along with his Ingush comrade-in-arms Sulom-Beck Sagopshinski, retaliated by holding up a passenger train near Kadi-Yurt Station and executing an equal number of men. The resistance fighters continued their activities, becoming folk heroes among the Chechen people as they raided Cossacks, Russian banks, the Vladikavkaz mint, and the Czar's post along the Georgian military highway. Their actions were driven by a desire to restore justice and help the impoverished population. Despite their successful raids, Abrek Zelimkhan and his companions were eventually cornered by a Dagestan Cavalry Regiment under the command of Lieutenant Kibirov. In the ensuing struggle, Zelimkhan was killed, and his captors proudly posed for a photograph with his lifeless body, as seen on this postcard. The inhabitants of Grozny and Vedeno were forced to pay a reparation of 100,000 roubles for the damage caused by the resistance fighters.
