'''Tapa Abdul Midgit Bey Ortsa Tchermoeff''' ([[1882]] – [[August 28]], [[1937]]) ({{lang-ru|Тапа Абдул Миджит Бей Орца Цармойев}}) was the first and last prime minister of the [[Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus]]. He was in office from [[11 May]] [[1918]] until the entire government was forced into exile by the advancing [[Bolsheviks]] in [[1921]]. His official title was ''[[General]] Tchermoeff [[prime minister]] of the [[Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus]]''.

==Early Life==
Born in [[Grozny]], [[Chechnya]] in [[1882]], Tapa was the eldest son of the well known General Ortsou Tchermoeff. He was educated at Vladikavkaz secondary school and at the Nicolayevsky Cavarly College in [[St. Petersburg]]. He graduated in [[1901]] and joined His Majesty [[Tsar Nicholas II]]'s Own Life Guard Convoy which was an elite unit.

Tapa Tchermoeff married [[Princess Hava Hannum Hibrahimbekova]] of Persia in [[1906]]. Although still a young man he was obliged to leave the army in [[1908]] when his father died. During this time he threw himself into economic and industrial activities. His family owned important parcels of oil bearing land in the [[Grozny]] area. Tapa automatically became one of the most active and energetic pioneers of the [[Grozny]] oil industry.

==World War I==
[[World War I]] interrupted Tapa's economic activity. He joined the famous native [[Savage Division]] of the [[Imperial Russian Army]] with the rank of Captain. In the war he proved himself a brilliant military leader and a fearless soldier.

==The Russian Revolution==
After the [[October Revolution]] Tapa returned to his native land intent to stem the Bolshevization of [[Chechnya]].

==The Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus==
At this historic time, Tapa showed himself to be a wise and far-seeing politician. He believed the unifying of all [[Peoples of the Caucasus|Caucasian]] highlanders to be the only way of saving the [[Northern Caucasus]] from the [[Bolsheviks]]. On his initiative and thanks to his unrelenting energy a convention of Caucasian highlanders took place on [[March]], [[1917]]. This meeting resolved to form an independent highland state. On [[11 May]], [[1918]] The [[Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus]] was officially established. Tapa was first the [[prime minister]] and then the minister for foreign affairs.

==The Versailles Conference==
Early in [[March]] [[1919]], Tapa headed a delegation to [[Paris]] in an attempt to take part in the [[Treaty of Versailles]]. The object of the delegation was to secure the recognition of the independence of the [[Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus]]. Alas a year later the [[North Caucasus]] were in the hands of the [[Bolsheviks]] and in [[January]] [[1921]] the [[Soviet Mountain Republic]] of the [[Russian SFSR]] was established.
