The Raid on Paraboch was Beibulat Taimievs second attack against the Russian Empire and took place not long after the Terek Cordon Raid, his first raid. The attack was a success, with Beibulat capturing Colonel Delpotso and retreating back into the mountains. In the report on this raid by Russian authorities, Beibulat is first mentioned by name.

History

Not long after his previous raid, Beibulat, this time with 20 men, once again crossed the Terek River on inflated goat skin coats. In a battle near the Paraboch village (Modern-day Chechnya, Shelkovskoy District), Beibulat and his fighters killed 3 Cossacks and captured Colonel Delpotso, the future major general and commandant of the Vladikavkaz fortress, and retreated into the mountains.[1]

With the colonel in his hands, Beibulat Taimiev demanded 20,000 silver rubles for his release. Long negotiations ensued, and the colonel was eventually released for a smaller ransom.[1]

This attack resulted in Chechen fighters joining Beibulats forces in masses. The Tsarist command, in its orders to active troops, wrote: The unknown Chechen villain Beibulat, having crossed the Terek naked, commited a great crime, for which he must be apprehended.[1]
