The Battle of Abinsk was a significant military engagement during the Russo-Circassian War, fought in 1834 between the forces of the Circassian leader Tuquzhuqo Kizbech and the Russian Empire. The battle took place in the Abin region of Circassia (modern-day Abinsk, Krasnodar Krai, Russia). Despite being heavily outnumbered, Kizbech's forces achieved a notable victory, employing effective guerrilla tactics against a larger, better-equipped Russian force.[2][3]
