&gt;The poem begins with a father seeking revenge for his dead son. To grant him this he sends his youngest son Tazit to the Chechen tribes. 

Actually Tazit was sent to the Chechens 13 years before that as a baby and is returned to his father on the day of the older brother's funeral. (Сегодня сына одного Ты преждевременно хоронишь. Гасуб, покорен будь судьбе. Другого я привел тебе. Вот он. Ты голову преклонишь К его могучему плечу. Твою потерю им заменишь)

&gt;At that time Chechens were seen as monsters and the Russian Empire released propaganda to make us into monsters. Pushkin knew the truth and conveyed it in his poem. Its subtle yet obvious.

I don't know if the actions of Tazit are supposed to reflect on Chechens as a whole or his own personal disposition. I mean, his Circassian father sees Tazit's actions as 'un-Chechen'. Circassians should have been well familiar with Chechens outside the Russian propaganda, right?
