Deslagar and Gubden

Until the 19th century, the territory of Deshlagar (Sergokaly) was part of one large village of Gubden . During the Caucasian War, there was a constant stream of defectors from Gubden to the side of Imam Shamil .

Letter from General G. Orbeliani to Prince Vorontsov :

For this reason, the tsarist authorities demanded their extradition upon arrival in the village, but the Gubden people did not. There is a letter from Prince Vorontsov to Chernyshev relating to this time, in which Gubden is accused of treason. We are talking about some violent Gubden people who participated on the side of Shamil:

The refusal of the residents of Gubden served as the basis for punishment: their arable, mowing and pasture lands located in Deshlagar were selected and transferred to the Samur regiment . The Russian authorities wanted to impress on the peoples of Dagestan that any of their anti-Russian manifestations would not go unpunished. They took the land of the highlanders and, without any reason, gave them to Russian immigrants, officials, military, local feudal lords who were pleasing to them ^[9] .

Military Settlement

In 1846, the headquarters of the 83rd Samur Infantry Regiment was built in Deshlagar, where soldiers performed military service and pacified the highlanders. Deshlagar was located in a picturesque place at the exit from the mountains of the Aya-Kaka gorge. A fortress, a watchtower, storage facilities, a stable, a guardhouse , a church, a barracks building for 1,500 people, and the colonel’s office were built here ^[10] .

Conflict around the land

Later there was a major uprising of the Samur regiment soldiers in Deshlagar, after which the inhabitants of the settlement gradually dispersed and left the region, Dargins from the mountains began to settle in their place. Since the 1870s, some of the territory of Deshlagar was still in the possession of (Dagdenians) of the Dargins . The land was located between the village of Gubden and its headquarters in Deshlagar. The Gubdenians ( Dargins ) are called Dershlabah, Urgabil, Khӏyagunag and Pilaul, and the last three rows of mountains are Dikva. Gubden society presented the opportunity to give these lands to neighbors at such times of the year that they did not need them. These excess lands were mainly used by the upper Dargin societies, which needed pastures, in particular, Mekeginsky , Akushinsky , Tsudakharsky and others ^[9] .

After some time, the Dargins began to claim these lands and build their huts and huts in these territories. On April 27, 1867, the Gubden people burned these huts and drove the Dargins into the mountains. The latter complained to the district government. While the complaint was being considered, the Akushinsky kadiy called on the Dargins to collect their weapons to go out against the Gubden. In Dashlagar, Dargins and Gubdenes gathered to resolve the conflict. But seeing the cattle on their crops, the Gubden people got excited and contrary to the persuasion of the old people, they again destroyed and put on fire huts, huts and logging, took away weapons and axes to compensate for losses from the damage to crops ^[9] .

The Dargins found the arbitrariness of the Gubdenites to be a convenient excuse for making claims to the Gubden lands. Now they already demanded much more land than they used. The Darginsky kadiy went, one might say unjustified measures, extreme measures. He appealed to the people to go to the Deshlagar tract , taking with him food supplies for a week. May 11, 1867 in Deshlagar, in the area of ​​Dikva, residents of the Akushinsky, Tsudahar, Mekeginsky, Usishinsky and Surghinsky communities gathered. But the Syurginsky and Usishinsky Kadis returned their fellow countrymen home, learning that the people had been convened without the consent of the district’s authorities. The rest went to the border of the Gubden lands. More than one and a half thousand people gathered from the Dargins. At this time, the chief of the Darginsky district received a demand to go home. On May 13, in the morning, they parted without harming anyone. On the same day, the Dargins with the Akushin cadmium confessed to the head of the district and asked them to forgive them for their rash act. So the measures taken by the authorities prevented a dangerous conflict. Soon a conflict arose with the Dargins in Deshlagar. The materials note that the inhabitants of the settlement Deshlagar destroyed border signs, plowed up the disputed and undisputed land of Gubden land. Until 1908, they several times pushed the border into the depths of the Gubden land. Of course, the Dugintsy could not be reconciled with such arbitrariness. In 1909, they plowed up their land, which the Dargins claimed without any reason, for which 18 Gubdenians were imprisoned for administrative purposes. Thus, the authorities neglected justice and openly sided with the Dargins. But the Gubden people attached great importance to land issues and, thanks to the influential lawyer B.K. Dalgat, regained their lands ^[9] .

In a statement of claim to the Baku District Court, B.K. Dalgat wrote a letter. The Baku district court eventually resolved the issue on all counts in favor of the Gubden society.

In 1916, another land issue arose. Now it was a question of sharing 125 rubles between the societies Gubden , Akusha , Tsudahar , Mekegi , Usisha and others, received from the authorities for the land that was alienated to the guard house in the area of ​​Dikva. A hearing in the Temir-Khan-Shurinsky district verbal court was scheduled for November 24, 1915. But the attorneys of the last rural societies asked to postpone the consideration of the issue, since they did not have with them documents confirming their right to receive their share of 125 rubles. This request was considered substantiated and the trial was adjourned. A new meeting of the district court took place on January 19, 1916. The attorneys of the villages of Akusha, Tsudahar, Mekegi, Usisha, Mugi , Sana-mahi, Kadani-mahi, Kuppa and others spoke at this meeting. The attorneys of these villages came to the second meeting without documents confirming their right to share the money. Therefore, they again began to ask to postpone the consideration of the case, promising to submit documents, which was done. On April 18, 1916, the third meeting was held. Studying the documents submitted, the court concluded that the Dikva, Piliv, Duzlagar and Deshlagar areas are the property of the Gubden people and the Dargins have some conditional, temporarily established rights to Dikva and Piliv. Therefore, the claims of the Dargin villages on a part of 125 rubles are unfounded. Hence the decision of the district court that it is necessary "to recognize the disputed between the Dargins and the Gubdenes 125 rubles to be extradited to the Gubdenes as owners of property, that is, the Dikva area ^[12] .

1917-1918 during the civil war , most of the male population of Gubden died fighting the White Cossacks , as a result of which the Dargins seized the leadership in Deshlagar and founded the village ^[9] .

In 1929, the village was renamed Korkmaskala - in honor of a prominent public, state and political leader, professional revolutionary, leader of the revolutionary movement in Dagestan, J. Korkmasov . In 1937, Korkmasov was arrested and shot. In 1937, the village was renamed Sergokalu - in honor of Sergo Ordzhonikidze . ^[13]
