Foundation of Mozdok
The Foundation of Mozdok in 1763 marked a critical event in the early phases of the Russo-Circassian War. The construction of this fortress by the Russian Empire was a strategic move to establish a foothold in the North Caucasus, provoking resistance from the Circassian tribes, particularly the Kabardians. This event is often considered a precursor to the long and bloody conflict between Russia and the indigenous peoples of the Caucasus.[1][2][3][4][5]
