In the years of the liberation struggle of highlanders in the North Caucasus, a big role in its ideological justification was played by religious authorities, in particular the Naqshbandi and Kadiri Sheikh Tashav-Haji al-Indiry, one of the leaders of the early period of the Caucasian War of the 19th century, and subsequently a naib of Imam Shamil. Building on various sources, the author describes the last period of Sheikh’s life and explores some facts of his biography. Among the issues considered is determining the approximate borders of the domain of al-Indiry’s spiritual influence, defined by his mentor Muhammad al-Yaragi. Special attention is paid to the issue of al-Indiri’s death dating. The article may be of interest to experts in the field of Sufism, to scholars studying Sufi history in the Caucasus and to researchers of the Caucasian War of the 19th century.
