Kuban Oblast
Due to the Caucasian War, the Mamkheghs were forced to leave their territories in the expulsion of the Circassians. Most of the survivors left for the Ottoman Empire. The remaining ones took Russian citizenship and founded a village called Mamxeg in the lower part of Fars River (in the Kuban Oblast). Also a big part of remaining people joined various Circassian villages located nearby. In 1884 the total number of Mamkheghs in the Kuban region remaining in Russia composed 1,258 people, 715 of them living in Mamxeg village.
