Poetic account of Russian army destroying Kumykia and Dagestan in the brutal conquests of 1830s, which Bestuzhev participated in, after being sent to Caucasus as a Decembrist.
Towns and villages razed to the ground along with their inhabitants with relentless artillery attacks, retribution campaigns by "merciful" generals. All for the glory of the Russian Emperor and arms.
Savagery of the victor put in very beautiful words.
