Lieutenant General Dzambolat Abatsiev left a significant mark in the military history of Russia. He was born on December 3, 1857, in the village of Kadgaron and received his education at the Vilna Infantry Junker School. He began his service at a young age. A. Vereshchagin recalls him in the book "At Home and at War" as a 22-23 year old, tall and slender brunette, assigned to the convoy of M. D. Skobelev. This circumstance played an important role in Abatsiev's life, as he was deeply devoted to General Skobelev, admiring his heroism and courage. Skobelev, known as the "White General," was distinguished by his decisiveness and ability to influence people. Under his command, Abatsiev participated in numerous military operations in 1877, including reconnaissance and the assault on Lovcha, artillery battles near Plevna, the attack on the Green Mountains, and the blockade of Plevna. In 1878, he took part in the campaign to Adrianople and other military actions. For his bravery, contemporaries spoke legends, and even Skobelev himself was impressed by his fearlessness. Abatsiev was awarded more than forty medals from Russia and foreign countries. In 1879, he arrived in Odessa but soon went on the Akhal-Teke expedition, where he was seriously wounded. After recovering, he served in Warsaw and St. Petersburg. In the Russo-Japanese War, he commanded the Ussuri Cossack Regiment, performing reconnaissance tasks. Later, his service was associated with the Caucasus, where he commanded a division and a corps, participated in courts and commissions. In 1912, Abatsiev became a lieutenant general and headed the 2nd Caucasian Cossack Division. In World War I, he commanded the 6th Caucasian Army Corps, participating in key battles in the Caucasus. After the 1917 revolution, Abatsiev found himself in reserve, not accepting either the revolution or the counter-revolution. He left Russia, settled in Yugoslavia, and worked in a university library. He was married to Elizaveta Eduardovna Fuchs and had three daughters. Although we do not know the details of his life abroad, it can be assumed that he missed his homeland, which he loved and served.
