The Russians, allied with a local potentate, Teimriqwe (Temgryuk, Temryuk) of Kabarda, captured Tumnev and built a fortress of New Temryuk there. The Crimean Tatars retook the fort in 1570; it was known as Adis for a century to come. In the 18th century the site was settled by the Cossacks, whose stanitsa was incorporated as the town of Temryuk in 1860
