Groza Kavkaza. Zhizn' i podvigi generala Baklanova

Voenachal'nik Donskogo kazach'ego voyska general-leytenant Yakov Petrovich Baklanov byl odnim iz proslavlennyh geroev Kavkazskoy voyny 1817-1864 gg. O bezmernoy hrabrosti i lihosti Baklanova hodili legendy. On lichno vodil kazach'i polki i sotni v ataki, uchastvoval v zasadah i perestrelkah, pristupah, stroitel'stve ukrepleniy, mostov i dorog. Obladaya ogromnoy fizicheskoy siloy, neizmenno vyhodil pobeditelem iz rukopashnyh shvatok. Poluchiv pod komandovanie polk doncov, byvshiy v otchayanno plohom sostoyanii, on skoro sdelal ego obrazcovym, a ot robkoy lineynoy oborony svoih predshestvennikov pereshel k samym reshitel'nym nastupatel'nym deystviyam "za liniey". Baklanov vskore stanovitsya grozoy "nemirnyh" gorcev, schitavshih Baklyu srodni samomu d'yavolu i zvavshih ego Dadzhalom.
