The mountain warriors of the Caucasus whose century-long resistance to Russian conquest became one of history's most heroic stands, and whose adyghe xabze code of honor, hospitality, and dignity remains the living soul of Circassian identity.
Circassian people — the Adyghe, indigenous to the western Caucasus mountains, whose warriors held the Russian imperial army at bay for nearly fifty years in one of the nineteenth century's most ferocious resistance struggles. When defeat finally came in 1864, the Russian Empire expelled the vast majority of the Circassian population in a mass deportation that killed hundreds of thousands and scattered survivors across the Ottoman Empire — to Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and beyond. Yet in diaspora, the Circassians preserved their language, their adyghe xabze code, and their dances with a tenacity that has kept a distinct identity alive for over 150 years. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Caucasus mountain and Circassian Adyghe heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
