Russian Conquest of Chechnya and Dagestan
I would prefer this title that has been popularized in literature, with Murid War as a second name. Thoughts? Machinarium (talk) 09:36, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- The name was chosen by Baddeley who remains the best English historian. Gammer repeated his work and could not do better. Instead of a rename it might be better to give it a double title and make Russian Conquest a redirect. Like Potato War, Winter War and War of Jenkin's Ear, Murid War has a certain appeal.

- From Gammer's extensive footnotes it appears that there was no general history of the war in a European language up to Gammer's book in 1994. Gammer's and Baddeley's notes show a very large nineteenth century literature in Russian. A modern account in Russian would be difficult for political reasons.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 04:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
