The historian Ya. Z. Akhmadov wrote about how this lie sounded among the Nokhchi: \u201csupporters of the Russian orientation claimed that the earthquake was caused by the wrath of Allah over the attempt at an armed uprising\u201d(Citation: \u0418\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0438\u044f \u0427\u0435\u0447\u043d\u0438 \u0432 XIX-XX \u0432\u0435\u043a\u0430\u0445 2005). The imperial historian Volkonsky acknowledges the source of the suggestion: the commander-in-chief \u201cordered General Rozen 4th to spread entirely opposite rumors among the people, namely, that the earthquake had been sent down by God upon the Mountain Peoples for their ill-intentioned acts against the Russian government\u201d(Citation: \u0412\u043e\u0439\u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0412\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u043e\u043c \u041a\u0430\u0432\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0435 \u0441 1824 \u043f\u043e 1834 \u0433. \u0432 \u0441\u0432\u044f\u0437\u0438 \u0441 \u043c\u044e\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0438\u0437\u043c\u043e\u043c 1886).
