Originally brought to Russia from France[ citation needed ], it is believed that grape vodka began being produced in the Russian city of Kizlyar in 1657[ citation needed ] as a replacement for the low quality wines that were being produced there at the time. [4] Since 1731, fruit vodka made in Russia is referred to as Kizlyar vodka or Kizlyarka. [5] [6] [7] [8] During the 1800s, one barrel of Kizlyarka was made from ten barrels of crushed, juiced grapes. [9]
According to P. N. Surovikin, the director of the wine and cognac factory[ which? ], Kizlyarka grew in popularity in the 1810s due to an increased production of grape alcohol, a ban on foreign wines, and the French invasion of Russia in 1812. [10] Another explanation for its rise in popularity during this time period could be its cheapness at the time compared to similar foreign alcohol. [4]
New Russian taxation laws in 1816 taxed Kizlyarka and bread grape vodka equally, causing the production of Kizlyarka to no longer be profitable. In 1820, Emperor Alexander I issued the “Regulations on Vodka Produced from Russian Grape Wines and Grapes in the Astrakhan and Caucasus Provinces”, which implied strict regulations on the mixture of bread vodka and other vodkas. [11] Kizlyarka production in Kizlyar decreased from 235 thousand buckets in 1828 to 120 thousand buckets in 1932. [12] [13] By the 1840s, there was a further decrease in the production of Kizlyarka due to an increase of the price of alcohol. [14]
In 1893, at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Kizlyarka was awarded a bronze medal and an honorary diploma. [15]

"Gazikumukh Shamkhalate" is a term introduced in Russian-Dagestan historiography starting from the 1950s–60s to denote the Kumyk state that presumably existed on the territory of present-day Dagestan in the period of the 8th to 17th centuries with the capital in Gazi-Kumukh, and allegedly disintegrated in 1642. However, In the 16th century's Russian archival sources Tarki is stated to be the "capital of Shamkhalate" and "the city of Shamkhal", while "Kazi-Kumuk" is mentioned as a residence. These facts contradict "1642 disintegration" date. Moreover, there is absolutely no source before 1950th containing the term "Gazikumukh Shamkhalate" or a statement that Gazi-Kumukh had ever been the capital of Shamkhalate. Historically, Shamkhalate is widely described as Tarki Shamkhalate or just Shamkhalate.
