The area around the Black Sea is just action packed historically.
The Khazars have always fascinated me by their choice of religion and dominance of the region.
Here is something that may interest you.
Cool.

It’s amazing how much has occurred in the Caucasus.

The book “The Master Plan” about Himmler’s cadre includes an interesting
section on the one ethnic group that really screwed with their worldview.
As they drove eastward, they were baffled and confused about what
to make of bands of ride-hard and shoot-shooter Jews in the Caucases.
I guess it totally upset their conviction that Jews were just accountants,
doctors or cunning businessmen.
Instead these guys were close to being hard-living cowboys.
(I heartily recommend “The Master Plan”. It’s documented with footnotes
and references in a virtually scholarly manner, but it’s a good narrative
about the evil that can happen when a band of sadists, MDs, and PhDs
are given a bankroll and the freedom to be “as bad as they wanna’ be.)
