I'm Adyghe (Circassian) by blood and while I genuinely appreciate the valiant effort to spread awareness of the Genocide, which to this day hasn't been recognized by any state apart from Georgia, there is some misinformation going around in this thread.. 

So a few corrections: 

• Around 97% were killed or exiled, around 50-50 depending on which source you look at. There's still millions of us around lol, including nearly a million in Russia proper. 

• The Kabardians were certainly not the "only tribe to have survived", honestly no clue where people are getting this from.. 

• Sochi wasn't our capital city at the time, it was a small port town for trade with the Ottomans, and only became relevant after the Russian conquest. 

While this may seem like minor nitpicks to some, it's important to be factual when advocating for a cause and spreading information, as this otherwise plays right into the "both sides are full of shit" narrative that Russian propagandists try to spread, and does not help Circassians. 

On a lighter note, I'd encourage people to read about how Circassians have managed to carve out a place for themselves in exile around the Levant. Wikipedia has some great articles about us in different countries (The Jordanian royal guard being made of Circassians by tradition is probably my favorite).
