Establishment of the First Foothold on the Sunzha River (1567)
The Regular Army of the Tsardom of Muscovy erected the first military base on the lands of the Nokhchi with the support of regular troops. As historian E. N. Kusheva writes, "at the request of Temriuk, conveyed in Moscow in December 1566 by his son Matlov or Mazlov, to build a town 'on the Terek River at the mouth of the Siuiunchi River' 'for protection from his enemies,' in the spring of 1567 voevodas were sent from Moscow for the town-building work — Prince A. S. Babichev and P. Protasyev 'with many men, as well as ordnance, cannons, and arquebuses'"[1]. Historians A. S. Kulikov and V. A. Runov add that the voevodas were sent "with firearms and many men"[2]. Historian E. N. Kusheva states the fact that the base was erected on the lands of the Nokhchi: "The Russian town... was built that same year"[1].
