Cherek Uprising (1913)

The 1913 Cherek Uprising was a peasant revolt that occurred in the Cherek Gorge of the Terek Oblast, part of the Russian Empire, in July 1913. It was triggered by widespread discontent among Balkar peasants over the privatization and sale of communal forest lands by local feudal elites, known as taubii, particularly the Zhankhotov and Zhenokov families.
