The Nazran Act of Oath of 1810 is the result of forcing the peace of the lowland Ingush

The subject of this study is a historical document called “The Act of Oath of Six Ingush Families of Russia,” signed by the Nazran Ingush on August 22, 1810 in the Vladikavkaz fortress, and the processes that took place on the river Terek at the beginning of the 19th century. Particular attention in the text is paid to the political and religious views of famous leaders of the Chechen abreks of the first third of the 19th century – foreman Beybulat Teimiev, the fugitive Kabardian prince Almaksid Mudarov (Kanchokin), the pro-Russian Chechen princes Magomed and Mussa Turlov, and their role in the confrontation between the Nazran Ingush and the tsarist administration. The contradictory nature of their relationship with the tsarist administration in the North Caucasus, as well as with the lowland Ingush societies, is shown. To solve the set goals and objectives, the author used a significant amount of scientific literature and archival data. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the approach to studying the reasons for signing this document and in an attempt to give a more complete picture of the events that preceded its signing. The author comes to the conclusion that the Nazran act was the result of a year-long confrontation between the Ingush foreman Shikh-Murza and the tsarist administration in Vladikavkaz, which began in April 1809. Realizing that on their own they would not be able to effectively resist the tsarist troops, the Ingush entered into an alliance with the abreks, headed by Sergeant Major B. Teimiev and Prince A. Kanchokin. However, the Russians eventually managed to overcome the resistance of the Nazran Ingush and force them to sign the above-mentioned “act of oath.”
