The Seven Months' War (Kabardian: Мазибл зауэ, Russian: Семимесячная война); also known as the Prince-Noble War (Kabardian: Пщы-уэркъ зауэ, Russian: Княжеско-дворянская война) or the Qurey War (Kabardian: Къурей зауэ) was a stage on the eastern theater of the Russo-Circassian War (1763-1864) in 1779 between the Russian Empire and the Grand Principality of Kabardia. It was the largest conflict in the war up to that time. The Circassians referred to it as the "Seven Months' War" because they considered the war to have lasted from its beginning in March until the final major battle in September.
