Old talk
editI was trying to find some info about the Lezgins and couldn't find too much. What event does the following refer to:
"The term still strikes a chord in the hearts of most Russians for their fame in resisting Russian conquest for more than half of the 19th century."
The only thing I can think of is that they are referring to Imam Shamil who, apparently, was an Avar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Shamil
I won't pretend to know his ethnicity either way, or if the Lezgins strongly resisted the Russians, but this line isn't very clear and should be fixed by somebody who hopefully knows more about this subject than myself.

"Historically known as Caucasian Albanians"
edit- "By comparison, the respective Dagestani and Azerbaijani historiographical traditions are centred on Caucasian Albania and tend to perceive the Caucasian Albanians as an ancestor community for various peoples of Dagestan, modern Azerbaijanis and some other peoples of the Caucasus. (...) Albanian was a North-East Caucasian language related to Lezgin and surviving to the present day as the modern Udi language (some sources refer to Albanian as 'Old Udi'), spoken by some 8,000 speakers in a small number of villages straddling Georgia and Azerbaijan. Leaving these debates aside, establishing direct historical, geographic, or cultural coordinates for Albania is extremely challenging." -- Galina M. Yemelianova, Laurence Broers, eds. (2020).
