Total Destruction of Infrastructure

in the campaign “Suppression of the Uprising, Military Intervention, and Forced Formalization of Subjecthood (1722)”

The Regular Army of the Russian Empire destroyed the settlements and the food supply base of the highlanders: historian Sh. B. Akhmadov states that a tsarist detachment "came to Enderi and completely devastated and burned it, leaving nothing but ashes behind"[1], while during the August 1722 raid "3 thousand houses were destroyed and the grain in the fields was burned"[2].
