Biography
Arsiko-Makhamaz-ogly was the Kistin naib of Imam Shamil who served as the governor of the District of Mountainous Chechnya of North Caucasian Imamate during the Caucasian War. Arsiko was also referred as the Kistin Naib (Кистинский Наиб). According to historian Yu. U. Dadayev, he was among the brave and faithful naibs of Shamil alongside Muhammad-Mirza Anzorov and a number of others.
General information
In 1848 Imam Shamil demanded Khevsurians to pay tribute to him and let his army pass through mountainous aul of Shatili, to which he was denied. Arsiko on the other hand, started to have negotiations with Shatilians, requesting them to let his army pass to Pshavi. Having been also denied, he gathered army of Kistins, namely the Mitkhois (Malkhins) and Maistins to force himself into Pshavi. However, there happened a conflict between the two groups, after which the army deserted.
Origins
Dadaev and the Chechen historian Khozhaev gives a theory that there's a possibility of Arsiko and naib of Dishni — Arsanuko Arsanukaev being one person. Which would make the naib Chechen.
