Abstract

The article examines the tragic finis of the great Russian poet M. Y. Lermontov, who spent some time in Karras before his death, as well as the history of the famous Karras colony which used to be a settlement first for Scottish missionaries, then for German gerngutters, who, with the consent of the Russian government, distributed Protestantism among the mountaineers of the North Caucasus.
