Maksud Alikhanov-Avarsky (Russian language: Максуд Алиханов-Аварский) (in some documents his name is spelled as Alexander Mikhailovich) (23 November 1846 – 3 July 1907) was a Russian military figure who governed parts of the Caucasus for the Russian Empire. He was a Russian Lieutenant-General (April 22, 1907), District Head of Merv, and Governor of Tiflis.[1]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Born on November 23, 1846, in the village of Khunzakh in Dagestan, in the family of an Avar officer. He was the elder brother of Kaitmaz Alikhanov. As a child, he was held hostage by Shamil, after the ransom was determined in the 2nd Tiflis noble school. He reportedly carried the name Ali Khan Avarski.[2]
His governance in the Caucasus was controversial and characterized as repressive.[2][3]
Maksud Alikhanov-Avarsky led a military invasion in 1906 that ended the Gurian Republic. He restored government order using repressive measures within a few weeks. He was subjected to an assassination attempt in 1906.[3]
Assassination
