Hajji Gerandiqo Berzeg (Adyghe: Джэрандыкъо Бэрзэдж, romanized: Dɉərandıqo Bərzədɉ; Ubykh: Гьарандыхъва Барзагь, romanized: Gârandıqua Barzagy; Turkish: Hacı Giranduk Berzeg) was a Circassian military commander who served as the 6th leader of the Circassian Confederation from 1860 to 1864. Most of his life, including his late childhood, was spent in the Russo-Circassian War (1763-1864) fronts. He reportedly met his own son in the battlefield, where he lost two of his other sons. After the Circassian genocide, he was exiled to the Ottoman Empire, volunteered in the Ottoman army against Russia, and died there of old age.[1][2]
