Zelimxan

Zelimkhan (also spelled Zelim-Khan) (January 1872, Kharachoy, Terek Oblast - 26 September 1913) is a Chechen and Ingush hero, who is viewed today as a version of a Chechen Robin Hood. Today the name is given to Chechen and Ingush children.

Zelimkhan was an abrek, a raider of the Cossacks and Russian colonists. He stole mainly to feed Chechens, and because the Cossacks were living on what the Chechens perceived to be their land, which was extremely fertile. Without control of these fertile lands, the Chechens became impoverished. To solve this problem, abreks, such as Zelimkhan and his Ingush comrade-in-arms Sulom-Beck Sagopshinski, raided the Cossacks, Russian banks, Vladikavkaz mint, Czar's post which was transported on the Georgian military highway, in order to restore the justice and help the poor.
