Zelimkhan "Kharachoevsky" Gushmazukayev[1] (Chechen: Харачойн Зеламха, romanized: Kharachoyn Zelamkha; January 1872 – 26 September 1913) and better known simply as Zelimkhan, was a Chechen outlaw (abrek) who gained fame in the late Russian Empire due to his spectacular bank and train robberies as part of a violent struggle with the Russian authorities.

[3][4] During the early 20th century, after the events of 1905, Zelimkhan was a particular problem for the Russian governors of the restive region, and enjoyed the support of the local Chechen population.

[5] He would ultimately become a symbol of triumph over the Russian administration, committing brazen feats such as the robbery of the Kizlyar treasury, carried out in broad daylight on March 27, 1910[6] and distributing the money to poor people;[7] he became varyingly seen as a fighter for "justice" or as one who continued the fight of the Muslim population for independence from Russia, being compared to Imam Shamil.

There was a statue of Zelimkhan outside the site of the village of Serzhen Yurt, which was destroyed during the First Chechen War.

He would like to die of longing for the family, which the Russian authorities sent, not sparing little children, to the ends of the earth, where people gather only after death.
