Etoksky monument. It was first mentioned in the chronicles by I. A. Gyldenshtedt, who saw it during an expedition in 1773 on a mound near the village of Etoko. He left a brief description and sketches of the monument. The Circassians who accompanied Güldenstedt called the statue Duka-bek, but they could not say where it came from. In 1797-1798, Count Jan Potocki recorded a monument in the same place; the statue was shown to him by an old Circassian named Shabaz In 1849, archaeologist Abraham Firkovich transported the statue of a warrior to Pyatigorsk and installed it in the Elizabethan flower garden along with other ancient monuments that he collected in historical Circassian lands

“No one and nothing can tame the extreme love of the Circassians for independence and militancy. Accustomed from a very tender age to severe training of the body, to the use of weapons and control of a horse, they know no other glory than victory over the enemy, and no other shame than retreating before the enemy.”
📜«Они (Черкесы Шапсугии) считались злейшими и опасными соседями черноморцев. Шапсуги умели мужественно и стойко защищаться на своей земле, что доказывалось значительными потерями, во всех случаях, когда нашим войскам приходилось с ними драться. Между ними были лихие наездники-предводители, например Шеретлуко Казбич». Записи; М. Я. Ольшевского. Русская старина. Nº6. 1895 г.

• Circassia, historical country, depicted as accurately as possible, drawn by me ! • I’ve had this idea in mind for a long time, and I finally felt the need to bring it to life after seeing incorrect maps of our homeland circulating. History often gets twisted and I hope this artwork helps spread accurate information, which is the reason I shared some sources to support my claims. May our beloved mountains one day be free again !
