historylover1230:Lezgian- The Lezgian are an ethnic group found primarily in the Russian republic of Dagestan and Azerbaijan. The name “Lezigan” only began to be applied to them after the Russian Revolution. Before, Lezigans often identified themselves by the name of their town or clan. After an unsuccessful rebellion in 1930, many Lezgians were deported to Central Asia. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Lezgians have been one of several groups in the Caucasus who have voiced a desire for more autonomy if not full independence. -- source link
