The Revolution in Circassia (also called the "Democratic Movement") refers to various social changes in 17th-19th century Circassia which led to the eradication or weakening of social classes and the establishment of a council-based, "democratic" social structure in the most populous regions. This was achieved by reforms of some Circassian leaders, as well as a series of violent revolts by Circassian peasants (Adyghe: Фэкъолӏ зау, lit. 'The Peasant War').
