The article represents an excerpt from unpublished work of a gifted historian Alexander S. Apfelbaum (1956-1994), who regretfully early passed away. Editors of the Caucasology journal have found it unjustified that such an interesting material illustrating the ties of the Caucasian peoples with Russia in times of the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829 are not yet involved in scholarly discussions. The Author examines in conjunction the issues of Caucasian peoples’ orientation in international relations, scale and forms of their participation in armed strife on Russia’s side, significance of the war’s outcomes for the region as a whole and for its different territorial subdivisions. The War of 1828-1829 is considered as an important milestone in the history of the Caucasus and in shaping the unity of the historical development of the Russian and Caucasian peoples. The countrywide ardent participation of the region’s peoples in the war on the Russian side is considered as a weighty factor in the course of military operations. Almost 10 thousand Caucasians, who constituted more than a third of the Russian troops in the Caucasian theater of military operations, significantly strengthened the forces of the Detached Caucasian Corps and made a meaningful contribution to the victory over Turkey. The elimination of the military-strategic footholds of the Ottoman Empire in the region led to a significant reduction in its ability to influence the situation in the Caucasus. The Adrianople Treaty fixed the accession by Russia of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and the Akhaltsikhe region thus completing the process of internationally acknowledged and legally registered joining of the Caucasus to Russia. The pivotal role for the consequent historical development of the region is assigned to the contacts that advanced Caucasians had during the war with members of the liberation movements and with representatives of progressive currents of Russian social thought in general.
