Topic: Circassia


  
  Circassia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Circassia, also known as Cherkessia in Russian, is a region in Caucasia.
The Circassian diaspora who were expelled from the historical Circassia in the late 19th Century after a series of uprising against Russian Imperial rule are found in various metropolitan areas of the old Ottoman Empire and traditionally provided the praetorian guard for the Ottoman Sultans.
There are also a communities in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan (a large community), Kosovo (until they were ethnically cleansed by the Albanians and repatriated in 1998), Egypt (Circassians were part of the Mamluk armies), Israel (in the vilages of Kfar Kama and Rikhaniya, since 1880) and as far afield as Upstate New York and New Jersey.

 Circassia    (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Circassia designates the homeland of the Circassians (see also “population”), which is the Northwestern part of the Caucasus.
Historically the Circassians lived along the shores of the fl sea in the west up to the Kuban river in the North, the Ingur river (the southern border of Abkhazia) in the south and the Terek River in the east.
Mass repatriation of the Diaspora Circassians and the unification of Circassian lands in one single republic within the Russian Federation are the objectives that were being pursued vigorously until recently.

Circassia, her good and friendly neighbor, with her vast Black Sea coast, was on her way.
Russia kept waging this type of warfare against Circassia during the period from 1716 to 1763, but her motif for this mad drive was not material gain alone.
This was only the prelude of the terrible war she was to unleash against Circassia for the realization of the secret plan she was trying to conceal from other great powers of the world.

Circassia's proprietary position has been strengthened by an agreement with Heska Corporation, under which Circassia has been granted an exclusive world-wide license to certain rights under Heskas broad patent portfolio covering cat allergens.
In addition to identifying T-cell specific peptide epitopes of allergens, Circassia's approach exploits the observation that in order to be effectively presented to the immune system, desensitising peptides must be appropriately bound to patients' MHC ('tissue type') molecules.
Circassia's Cat-PAD accommodates this requirement by treating patients with a mixture of peptides selected on the basis of MHC binding.

 The Story of the Life of Lord Palmerston by Karl Marx   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Circassia being an independent country, the municipal, sanitary or customs' regulations with which the Muscovite might think fit to provide her were as binding as his regulations for the port of Tampico.
On the other hand, if Circassia was a foreign country, hostile to Russia, the latter had only a right to blockade, if that blockade was no paper blockade—if Russia had the naval squadron present to enforce it, and really dominated the coast.
Circassia, forming no part of the Russian territory, could not, of course, be included in Russian custom-house regulations.

The eastern Black Sea region of Circassia was a focus not only for the rivalries of the western Allied Powers against Russia, but also for the machinations of the Ottoman Empire and Persia.
The Russians had subjugated Circassia by 1808 but, faced by Allied interest in local instability and unrest, Russia imposed a blockade on the coast that ran from 1836 to 1839.
Having already made one expedition to Circassia, J. Bell was a natural choice as British legate to the region.

 Circassian Navy during Russian-Caucasian War
Its noteworthy fact that from the first time of conquest of Circassia the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered destroying of “thugs’ haunts” on the Black Sea coast as the main measure to conquer Circassia.
During the assault to the hostile trade ship Circassian firstly “knocked by riffle guns all the sailor from the upper deck, after they were boarding with the daggers and then after few moments all was finished…” We have to take into consideration that while war time all this also did England, Holland and others.
And Circassia was not an exception in this meaning.

Well, my great-grandmother, too, came to the US on the Circassia, back in 1883.
The photo which the gentleman referred you to is NOT the same ship, it is actually the 3rd "Circassia" commissioned in Great Britain.
The one in the photo was launched in 1937, obviously not the same ship that ferried our ancestors in 1883 and 1895!
