The Karachay Uprising of 1855 was a rebellion by the Karachay people and other Circassian mountain tribes against the Russian Empire during the Caucasian War. This uprising took place in August 1855 in what is now the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. It was organized by the naib (deputy) of Imam Shamil, Muhammad Amin, alongside Magomet Efendi Hubiev, a spiritual leader of the Karachay people. The primary goal was to expel Russian influence from the region and unite the local forces with those of Imam Shamil.[1]
