In the article, based on factual material, we reveal the
policy of tsarist Russia in Chechnya at the turn of the
1840-1850-ies. The article points out that in 1836,
Chechnya was not included in the national liberation
movement of highlanders of the North-Eastern
Caucasus. In early 1840, Shamil was elected the
Imam of Chechnya and the Imam of Dagestan and
Chechnya. The same year there was a General revolt
in Chechnya. Since that time, the center of the
national liberation movement in the North-East
Caucasus was moving to Chechnya. The article noted
that for the conquest of the Chechen population by
the king's command despite military means there
were made engineering, economic and ideological
measures. In the end, these measures and the
teachings of Kunta-Haji, which began to spread in
the same period of time, influenced the political
situation in Chechnya and the minds of the Chechens.
And all this, taken together, led to the fact that since
the early 50-ies of the 19th century some groups of
the society of Chechnya began to show a tendency
towards reconciliation with Russia. In the studied
time there was a change of tactics of the king's army
in Chechnya. The Royal army was moving from
trench warfare to the method of the marginalization
of Chechens further and further into the mountains,
through the construction of forest rides, and
consolidated in the captured territory a system of
military forts and Cossack villages. In 1850 the
Royal army began to implement a plan of invasion of
Chechnya which was Dagestan barns. This
undermined the economic base of the Imamate
heavily. Since the beginning of the 1850-ies and up
until 1859, the center of gravity of the Caucasian war
was transferred to Chechnya. There would be major
events that would create the fate of the Imamate.
Thus, the article characterizes the economic and
propaganda policy of tsarism and its importance in
the conquest of Chechnya; we have also highlighted
the military actions against the mountaineers,
explored the tactics and the strategy of the king's
army in Chechnya
