History

Background

In 1557, Kabarda voluntarily became a Russian citizen, which contributed to the strengthening of Kabardian influence in the region. In 1561, the wedding of Temryuk Idar daughter, Maria, to Tsar Ivan Terrible strengthened these ties and secured support from the Russian state. ^{[10] [11] [12] [13]}

Military campaign

In October 1562, an army under the command of Temryuk Idar, consisting of Kabardians, Nogais and Cossacks, marched into the territory of the Central Caucasus. Historical sources, including the Nikon Chronicle, report that the purpose of the campaign was to capture the Ingush lands located in the area between the rivers Terek and Sunzha. ^{[2] [14] [7] [8]} In the 16th century, the Ingush lived on the plain, but after several invasions, including the campaigns of the Mongols and Timur, they were forced to leave for the mountains. ^{[15] [16] [17] [18]}

In 1562, the Kabardian prince Temryuk Idarovich undertook an aggressive campaign against the Ingush, who lived in anticipation. Detachments of Nogai Murzas come to his aid. The Russian Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible, married to Temryuk's daughter Maria, sent 1,000 Cossacks under the command of Grigory Pleshcheev to help him. As a result of this unification of the Kabardino-Nogai-Cossack campaign for discovery, 164 settlements were defeated, judging by the Russian chronicles. The Ingush went to the mountains again. Kabardians settled on their former territory. ^{[7] [8] [19] [20] [21]}
