Biography
He was against the construction of the Mozdok fortress in Circassian lands, and saw it as an invasion of Circassia by the Russian Empire.
After 1765, he consistently advocated the destruction of Mozdok.
After the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war of 1768–1774, Qasey Hatokhshoqo searched for ways to strengthen Kabardian sovereignty by diplomatic methods. He remained dissatisfied with the conditions for Russian Empire annexation of Kabarda. In the last years of his life, Qasey was actively looking for allies to exert diplomatic and military-political pressure on the Russian Empire.[1][2]
In 1773, he died.
