[2] During World War I, Bicherakhov served in 1915–1918 in the expeditionary corps of General Nikolai Baratov in Persia as the commander of the Terek Cossack detachment with the rank of army starshina.

[1] In June 1918, Bicherakhov made an alliance in Enzeli with British General Lionel Dunsterville to take joint action against Ottoman and Soviet forces in the Caucasus.

[3] Since Dunsterville had no troops available for immediate deployment to prevent the advance of the Ottoman army, it was agreed to allow Bicherakhov to temporarily cooperate with the Bolsheviks.

In October 1918, Bicherakhov declared allegiance to the Provisional All-Russian Government, and was conferred the rank of major-general in the white army.

[1] Bicherakhov emigrated in 1919 to Great Britain, and from there to Germany in 1928, where during World War II he led North Caucasus people's section in the pro-Nazi Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia.
