If you've read Hadji Murad, by Tolstoy, can you please help?

Question

Who are considered to be the Caucasian rebels in this novel? My point to answer is "describe the relationship between Russians and the Caucasian rebels." Maybe I am confusing the rebels with the Caucasian peoples, who I also need to talk about in my paper.
