Background
[edit]In 1833, Grigory Zass was appointed Commander-In-Chief of the war in Circassia. After this, Zass and his men began to indiscriminately massacre Circassian villagers.[1][2][3][4] Zass's main headquarters was in the fortress.
Battle and aftermath
[edit]The battle began with a raid by the forces of Khirtsizhiqo Ale [5] together with his army from the Circassian resistance attacked Prochnyi Okop.[4] When the Circassians attacked this base, they kidnapped General Zass's daughter. Most of the garrison defending the fortress were massacred. Three years later, they sent a letter to Zass informing him that they would return his daughter, and they agreed on the terms and location of the exchange. [5][2]
