Muhammad Said Shamil,[a] also referred to in the North Caucasus as Muhammad Said Bey,[b] or Said-Bek Shamil (1901 – 21 March 1981) was a North Caucasian politician and émigré leader. The grandson of rebel leader Imam Shamil, Shamil was the monarch of the North Caucasian Emirate during the 1920–1921 Dagestan uprising before later going into exile. He was one of the leading figures of Prometheism, a Polish-led political project seeking to bring about the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and participated in several political projects by North Caucasian émigrés such as the Committee for the Independence of the Caucasus and the People's Party of Caucasian Highlanders (which he led). Shamil played a significant role in encouraging anti-communism in the Arab and Islamic world during the interwar period.
