- September 26, 1844) was a Circassian military commander, nobleman and double agent who took part in the Russo-Circassian War.
[1] After seeing the failure of Russian forces against the mountainous Circassians, he again switched sides, re-converted to Islam and started fighting for Circassia, but still declared that he is loyal to Russia.
Later that year, seeing the Circassian resistance winning major battles against Russia, Qanoqo again switched sides, and joined Circassia against the Russian forces.
[5] On the night of August 26, he tried to siege the fortress of Grigory Zass, ultimately seeking revenge for his destroyed village, but failed.
