Russian wars in the Caucasus
in the 19th century

After Georgia joined the Russian Empire in 1801, many bloody wars were fought in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia throughout the 19th century: with Persia in 1804-1813, 1826-1828, and the Ottoman Porte (Turkey) in 1806-1812, 1828-1829, 1853-1856, 1877-1878. However, the longest was the Caucasian War (1817-1864), the beginning of which dates back even to 1801, according to some data.

This section of the exhibition presents battle maps, paintings, and photographs dedicated to the main battles; weapons; collective and individual awards and grants of soldiers and officers of the Imperial Russian Army and the Caucasian highlanders received during their participation in these wars; portraits and personal belongings of the famous generals of the Caucasian War — Field-Marshal-General Prince A.I.
