Feldmarshalskaya massacre

The Feldmarshalovskaya Massacre also referred to as The Deportation of the Terek Cossacks was an armed attack carried out by Ingush and Chechen detachments on the Cossack Village of Feldmarshalovskaya and the Sunzhenksaya line during the Russian Civil War. The event took place amid the chaos and weakening of central authority, marked by ethnic tensions, struggles for resources, and territorial redivision in the North Caucasus. The raid reflected the strained relations between the local Cossack population and the highlanders, exacerbated by political instability and interethnic hostility.

It took place in the second half of November 1917, after one of the most terrible clashes on the Sunzhenskaya line. The village of Feldmarshalskaya was plundered and burned.
