Summary
«Hadji Murat» by Leo Tolstoy narrates the final months in the life of a true Caucasian hero, Hadji Murat, who in 1851, in an attempt to save his family, defected to the Russian side, opposing Shamil, his former ally and leader of the mountaineers. The novel explores his interactions with Russian officers, his internal conflicts, and his struggle for personal honor and adherence to his principles. Ultimately, Hadji Murat meets his end while trying to escape from the Russians, whom he could never fully trust, and from the mountaineers, who saw him as a traitor.
