Was a Circassian polity in the Caucasus. It was conquered by Russia during its Caucasus Military Conquests of the XIX century.

Establishment

January 1775: Originally, Russia did not want to conquer the North Caucasus, which was difficult to access, which also did not belong to the Ottoman Empire, but only wanted to control a paved connecting road to Transcaucasian Georgia, the Georgian Military Road, which Russia had expanded. Therefore, in 1774, the two principalities of the Kabardians bordering on this road, the "Great Kabarda" and "Small Kabarda", were declared a protectorate (dependent protective state).
