Grigory Khristoforovich von Zass (Russian: Григорий Христофорович фон Засс; German: Georg Otto Ewald Freiherr von Saß; 1797–1883) was an Imperial Russian general who commanded Russian cavalry troops in the Napoleonic Wars and Russo-Circassian War,[6][7][8][9][10] initially gaining prominence for his actions against the Circassians, whom he reportedly saw as a "lowly race".[11][12] He was the founder of the city of Armavir, Russia.[6]

In 2003, the Russian Federation erected his statue on former Circassian territories, infuriating Circassians and Circassian nationalist establishments worldwide.[13][14]
