aug 22, 1916 - Events of 22 August

Description:

Sarybaghysh Kyrgyz declared Mokush (Shabdan’s son) their khan on 9 August (22 Aug NS), and on the same day, Mokush’s aide succeeded in seizing a large cache of arms, having received information about its transportation from Ïsamüdün, another son of Shabdan, who had met Russian officials for negotiation about the labour draft.62 Different sources cite different numbers of arms – from 170 to 200 rifles and from 3,000 to 35,000 cartridges, transported by only three or four Russian soldiers. A part of these arms then passed into the hands of other rebels, including Bughu Kyrgyz in Przheval’sk district. Collapsing Empire p39
