In the campaign of August - September 1832 the troops of corps commander Rosen appropriated the property and livestock of the residents of the villages being devastated. The imperial historian Volkonsky wrote: the property of 50 families who had taken refuge in the forest near Mairtup "fell as booty to the detachment", and near Tsentoroy "6 horses and 50 head of cattle were seized"[1]. Rosen reported to Minister of War Chernyshev that on September 15, near the village of Dungen-yurt, the cavalry "seized 140 sheep and 9 head of cattle"[2].
