The princes Dzhantemirovs, who ruled the Dzhantemirovs, have been known since 1643. In the Upper Kuma basin, the Dzhantemirovs have been known since 1746. In the documents of 1788, among the Abazin villages are also mentioned the "Zhantemirov taverns". In 1794, 4264 people lived in them. In 1800, the gene. Knorring, in a report to Paul I, describing the source of acidic waters , wrote: “Near this spring Zhantemirov’s family is inhabited by Abazins, a people of good nature and obedience.” ^[1] In 1804, they left Kuban, and a little later returned to their old places. In 1823, S. M. Bronevsky wrote that the Zhantemirov’s “villages are located along Kuma and Podkumku by small estates up to the Kislovodsk fortress, numbering up to 500 yards”. There they remained until the second half of the 1860s.

Map compiled in September 1793 by the Russian academician, traveler P.S. Pallas and reprinted today depicts a section of the valley of the Podkumok river and its tributaries Berezovka and Olkhovka, on the site of the modern city of Kislovodsk, where at the end of the XVIII century. there were several villages of the Abazin-Tapanta, subject to the princes Dzhantemirov.

In his notes P.S. Pallas writes: “On the elevated plain beyond the Podkumok river, we saw several Abazin settlements that belong to the Dzhantemirov family. Abaza villages in these places are similar to the Circassian ones in construction and internal location. Their manner of dressing, both in men and in women, is absolutely analogous to the Circassian one. ”

Other travelers and military scientists noted the presence of Dzhantemiri taverns (villages) near Kisly Vody (the territory of the modern city of Kislovodsk) in the late XVIII - first half of the XIX century. In 1803, the Kislovodsk fortress was built next door, which, of course, limited the liberty of the Abaza villages. In 1825, on the lands formerly occupied by the Dzhantemirovs, the Kislovodskaya village was founded. It is also known that during the 1865 reform of the enlargement of the mountain villages, a part of the Dzhantemirovs refused to settle in the upper reaches of the Kuma River during the formation of the Kumsko-Lovoovsky village (the modern Red East) and received permission to move to Kabarda on the Malka River. However, in the vicinity of the modern village of Krasny Vostok in Karachay-Cherkessia (Malokarachaevsky district), the toponym Jyantemyrkt - the former location of the village of Dzhantemirova - has been preserved.
