Heroes who fought in the local resistance movement during the genocides of 1918: Hamid and Uglanaga Ashurov.
Photos of Hamid and Ughlanaga Ashurov, who were honored for their special heroism during the genocide committed by the Armenian Dashnaks in the Guba disaster in April-May 1918, are displayed in the museum’s “Defenders of the Guba Disaster” section. Hamid, who was born in the Dagestan village of Miskinja, moved to Gusar and married Ughlanaga. Hamid Dashnak led a group of 60 people who fought with Hamazasp’s army at the most difficult points, killing about 100 of his soldiers. During the next battle, Hamid goes into battle with his comrades after receiving the order to silence the enemy cannon. Hamid’s body, which was hit by an enemy bullet, is still in the Dashnaks’ control.
Despite the efforts of his comrades, the body cannot be removed from there.
When Ughlanaga heard about the incident, he came to Digah dressed in men’s clothes, a dagger on his waist, and a rifle on his shoulder, to prevent his husband’s body from being trampled by the enemy, and he took the body away from the battlefield. Later, Uglanaga, who has entered the battlefield, fights the Dashnaks. Hatem Agha learns about the defeat of Hamazasp’s army and applauds his heroism.
