From the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg—“A Circassian Camp Near Novorossiysk.” An anonymous drawing from the 1860s. Circassians are boarding small boats to reach the deportation ship anchored in the roadstead. Bodies lie on the shore, some of them covered.
Imperial Telegraph in the Winter Palace TELEGRAM No. 5/64 Sent from: Poti, April 4, 1864 (9:13 AM) Received in: St. Petersburg, April 5, 1864 (11:58 AM) To the Sovereign Emperor. I have just returned from Heyman’s detachment; he occupied Sochi without a shot on March 25th. There, deputies from the Ubykhs, Akhchipsou, and Akhchiphubeis presented themselves to me. They declared that they will not fight and desire to resettle. The matter of subjugation is closely linked to the facilitation of resettlement. I earnestly request permission to employ company steamers and military transports for this purpose. I am dispatching a courier with a letter and Trubetskoy’s report. I embrace You. Mikhail.
