History

In the autumn of 1802, Beibulat Taimiev, leading a group of 6 fighters, crossed the Terek River on inflated goat skin cloacks, and made his way to a Cossack cordon. With the aim of avenging the killed Chechens, especially Beibulats friend, the Chechen fighters attacked the Cossack outpost, killed 11 guards, captured their weapons, and burnt the outpost down. He then made his way back across the Terek in the same way.[1]

This attack made Beibulat gain the reputation of a "Daring Abrek" among the Russian authorities, and along with his raid on Paraboch in September of the same year, this raid caused Beibulat to become famous across Chechnya.[1]
