 In addition, the modern city of Amman was born after Circassians settled there in 1887.Apart from substantial numbers of Kabardian Circassians consisting of "qalang" tribes, small communities of mountainous Circassians ("nang" tribes) remained in their original homeland under Russian rule that were separated from among one another within an area heavily resettled by Russian Cossacks, Slavs and other settlers.For example, the capital of the Shapsugh tribe was renamed after the Russian general that committed atrocities in the region along with the erection of a victory statue to him.
