On 10th October 1905 Russian police shot into a crowd during a strike at an industrial plant in Grozny, Chechnya, killing 17 people. A week later Abrek Zelimkhan Gushmazukayev (1872-1913) held up a passenger train near Kadi-Yurt Station and had the same number of men shot. He continued his resistance fighter activities, becoming a Robin Hood figure amongst the Chechen people. Zelimkhan and his Ingush comrade-in-arms Sulom-Beck Sagopshinski, raided the Cossacks, Russian banks, Vladikavkaz mint, Czar's post which was transported on the Georgian military highway, in order to restore justice and help the poor. Eventually surrounded on 27th September 1913 in Shali by a Dagestan Cavalry Regiment under the command of Lieutenant Kibirov, Zelimkhan was killed after a long struggle. His capturers proudly had their photograph taken with him as shown on this postcard. The inhabitants of Grozny and Vedeno were forced to pay 100,000 roubles in reparation for the damage caused by Zelimkhan and his companions.
