The Bakhchisarai campaign (Kabardian: Бахъшысэрей зекIуэ) was a Kabardian military raid against the Crimean Khanate in approximately 1535–1536. The event is considered legendary because it is recorded only in the folklore of the peoples of the Caucasus, other sources do not mention the Circassian campaign in the Crimea.
