He was called the Scourge of God, the Sword of Islam, the Protector and the Hope of Muslims! He, leading several tens of thousands of highlanders, was able to successfully resist one of the strongest armies on the European continent for decades! The military-theocratic state he created, unique in history, was admired by his contemporaries and was taken as a model by some of the recent terrorist organizations banned in Russia! How was a simple highlander able to create a state that was extremely successful in those realities and an effective army?!

Maybe the point was that our contemporary found himself in the place of this 19th century man?
