Imam Shamil

“O General! Inform your Tsar: In the heart of the Caucasus, there are thousands of other fortresses like Aulgo and tens of thousands of Surhay towers have taken their place. All of these are waiting for those who rebelled against their Lord and thirst for their death. I have already healed the three wounds inflicted on my body by your weapons with the medicines I have made from the healing herbs of Dagestan, and I have prepared to fight against you. I have already dedicated my remaining children as a sacrifice to the country and the way of Allah. We will give everything to you and your Tsar in abundance, but never the freedom and honor of the homeland!”
