Uchar Hadji (Otshar Yaqub from Gendergen) was, according to Caucasian War historians and sources as well as the modern ones, a chechen elderman, who killed two Russian generals at once.
Events in Gerzel aul in 1925
In the summer of 1825, during the Caucasian War two Russian promising generals Grekov and Lisanevich gathered more than 300 elderman of the formally subject to Russian Empire chechen village of Aksay, in the fortress of Gerzel-Aul. The aim was to impose penalties for the Aksay Kumyks' support to Chechen rebels, and Yermolov's intention was also to force Aksay people to stop any relations with Chechens. When eldermen were gathered Russian generals started insulting them, in return Uchar-haji stabbed both generals with his dagger. Fierce melee started immediately and ended with all Chechens dead. In retribution, Aksay was destroyed by Russian forces and it was forbidden for the Kumyks to ever resettle on their lands again.
