It includes 53 portraits of historical figures who have left their mark on the fate of the mountainous region. The reader will meet with a series of historical figures - from the Russian prince Mstislav to the legendary Imam Shamil. The characters in the book are Russian commanders, conquerors of the Caucasus. Proud, courageous mountaineers who stand up for their freedom. Russian poets who praised the harsh and beautiful country of mountains. The artists who captured the paintings of "wild and gloomy nature." Scientists, travelers, geographers and historians. The events of the Caucasian War of the 19th century are also touched upon here, to the extent that they are reflected in the pages of Russian literature. Also among the characters are Russian tsars and princes, generals M.I. Platov, A.P. Ermolov, I.F. Paskevich and others. The book reflects the interest in the Caucasus on the part of Russian scientists. Separate chapters are devoted to the stay of P.S. Pallas, F.P. Gaaz, who studied the healing springs of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. Many pages of the book were given to representatives of Russian literature, for most of whom their stay in the Caucasus coincided with the beginning of their literary activity. Chapters dedicated to A.S. Pushkin, M. Yu. Lermontov, L.N. Tolstoy and other writers and poets, are an interesting excursion into the topic "The Caucasus in Russian literature." A significant place among the characters is occupied by representatives of the Caucasian peoples, whose names have forever entered the history of the region: Kabardian prince Izmail Atazhukov, educators and poets Shora Nogmov and Kosta Khetagurov, artist P.Z. Zakharov the Chechen, the brave Hadji Murad, Abrek Zelimkhan and others.
