15 years after the Murid’s rose up in the Caucasus, Russia was still unable assert their rule in the region. Under their enigmatic leader, Imam Shamil, the Murids continued to harass the Tsar’s forces with their guerrilla warfare tactics. Despite repeated Russian victories, Imam Shamil was not discouraged. For him and his followers, this was a war to the death, where surrender was not an option. This perseverance would pay off; having bolstered his forces throughout the first half of the 1840s, Imam Shamil was besieged in his Chechen stronghold of Dargo by a Russian force in 1845. What ensued was the biggest victory for the Murids of the entire war and served to highlight the military genius of Shamil.
