Евгеньевское укрепление, Military fortification in Chirkey, Russia.

Yevgeniyevskoye Fortification was a Russian military work on the Sulak River in Dagestan, built in 1841 by General Yevgeny Golovin opposite the village of Chirkey in a narrow part of the Sulak canyon. It comprised a citadel, a foretown and a bridgehead with two stone towers linked by a covered passage over the bridge. Its remains were submerged in 1970 by the Chirkey Reservoir.

The site was built during the 19th century as Russia extended military control over the Caucasus region and the surrounding territories. It served as one of several strongholds that anchored Russian authority in the mountainous landscape.

The fort was named after its founder, General Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Golovin. A local tradition links it to Leo Tolstoy's story "The Prisoner of the Caucasus": in 1853, two soldiers from the garrison, Unteroffizier Pyotr Gotovitsky and Private Ivan Dudatyev, were captured and later escaped.

The fortification no longer stands: its remains were submerged in 1970 when the Chirkey Reservoir filled, so there is nothing to visit on land. The site lies on the Sulak River in the narrow part of the Sulak canyon, opposite Chirkey village. The reservoir is visible from the surrounding heights and from the Chirkey hydroelectric dam area.

The fort no longer stands: its remains were submerged in 1970 when the Chirkey Reservoir filled. The site lay opposite the aul of Chirkey, in a narrow stretch of the Greater Sulak canyon, guarding the strategic bridge over the Sulak. A story told about its garrison links it to Tolstoy's "The Prisoner of the Caucasus": in 1853 a dragoon sergeant, Pyotr Gotovitsky, and a soldier, Ivan Dudatyev, were captured and escaped.
