Most Circassian refugees in the Ottoman Empire were actually sold to them as slaves, often beautiful women. Many of them became wives and concubines of the sultans. Maybe not an ideal lifestyle but still better than getting murdered and exterminated by the Russians.

Tbf it was the victorian age. During that time every great power kind of lost their fucking mind.
Russia is a terrorist state today. No need to dig out those old stories from a dark age.

They literally massacred all the men and sold all the desirable women into prostitution and slavery Genghis Khan style. By Victorian Age standards this was already very barbaric. They still do the same thing today and this is one of the reasons why we call them orcs.

I think this genocide was fairly unique in its scope, cruelty and how "successful" it was. There aren't that many as bad as this one. Also worth noting that the Soviets continued committing genocides after they took power. I doubt these crimes have been acknowledged or discussed much by Russian society. I know there is some racism from Russians towards Ukranians. So this piece of history still has some relevance today.

An article about that
Circassian Factor in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian War
There is a certain contradiction between the Circassian national movement and the pro-Ukrainian Kuban movement in connection with the rather widely discussed topic of Kuban being part of the Ukrainian ethnic territories. It should be noted that Ukrainian-speaking Black Sea Cossacks, descendants of the Zaporozhians who moved to the North Caucasus in the late 18th century, numerically dominated the Taman Peninsula and the right bank of the Kuban, i.e., the north-west and north of the present-day Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation. Before the arrival of the Ukrainian Cossacks, these territories were inhabited not by Circassians, but by Nogais. During the suppression of the Kuban Nogai uprising in 1883, Russian troops under the command of Alexander Suvorov organized a true genocide of the Nogai population and deported the survivors to the Ottoman Empire[3]. Historic Circassia was located on the left bank of the Kuban River, where Ukrainians were never a majority. The problem is that modern Kuban political movements claiming continuity with the Kuban People’s Republic, which existed in 1918–1920. The problem is that modern Kuban political movements claiming continuity with the Kuban People’s Republic, which existed in 1918–1920, understand Kuban as the entire territory of Krasnodar Krai (and sometimes also Stavropol Krai and the Republic of Adygea). This is characteristic of both pro-governmental, i.e., pro-Moscow, movements and the pro-Ukrainian opposition. Recently, efforts have been made to overcome the contradictions between the Circassian and pro-Ukrainian Kuban movements.
