Hadji Murat, one of the most feared and venerated mountain chiefs
in the Caucasian struggle against the Russians, defects from the
Muslim rebels after feuding with his ruling imam, Shamil. Hoping to
protect his family, he joins the Russians, who accept him but never
put their trust in him - and so Murat must find another way to end
the struggle. Tolstoy knew as he was writing this, his last work of
fiction, that it would not be published in his lifetime, and so
gave an uncompromising portrayal of the Russians' faults and the
nature of the rebels' struggle. In the process, he shows a mastery
of style and an understanding of Chechnya that still carries great
resonance today.
