A memorial evening dedicated to the anniversary of Ingush people's poet Dzhamaldin Yandiev was held at the Lyazhgi Community Center.

Dzhamaldin Khamurzaevich Yandiev was born on October 15, 1916, in the village of Balta. He lost his mother at a young age and his father during the deportation. He began writing poetry while still in school and later headed the Writers' Union of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR. In 1944, he was deported to Central Asia, but even there he continued writing poetry—it was during those years that his most poignant lines about the war and his native land were written.

During his lifetime, the poet published 20 collections of poetry in Ingush and Russian. His works were translated into many languages ​​of the USSR, and he himself translated Pushkin, Lermontov, and Mayakovsky into Ingush.

The most famous works include: "Believe!", "Mother," "Where I Was Born," "A Handful of Soil," "Tear," "Beat, Heart," "The Earth Burns and Cries," and "We Will Not Give Up Our Homeland." Many of these became folk songs—sung without notes because they came from the heart.

In Nazran, outdated circuit breakers will be replaced with modern Russian-made ones.

Ingushenergo specialists will replace two outdated oil circuit breakers at a Nazran substation with modern Russian-made vacuum circuit breakers.

The new equipment will be equipped with microprocessor-based protection and control units. This will allow for faster detection of network faults and automatic shutdown of the affected section, increasing power supply reliability.

The work will ensure more reliable power supply to 49,000 residents and 73 socially significant institutions in Nazran, as well as the rural settlements of Kantyshevo and Dolakovo.

More than 15.3 million rubles will be invested in the project.

The installed equipment has been in operation since 1966 and 2001 and has already reached the end of its service life. Unlike oil circuit breakers, the new vacuum circuit breakers do not require transformer oil, making them more fireproof and eliminating the risk of oil leaks.

Microprocessor systems will monitor network parameters in real time, perform diagnostics, and transmit information to the dispatcher. This will allow for remote control of equipment and prompt response to emergency situations.

The work is being carried out as part of the Ingushenergo branch's 2026 Power Facility Repair Program. Completion is scheduled for the end of November.

The "Family Team" family sports festival is underway in Sunzha.

Participants from various schools across the republic gathered at the city's central stadium today to spend a sports day together, test their strength, and compete for the title of the strongest and most cohesive team.

The festival is organized as part of the "Movement of the First" project and aims to promote a healthy lifestyle, develop team spirit, and strengthen family values. In 2026, the "Family Team" will be part of the all-Russian "Challenge of the First" project.

The program is packed: participants will face running challenges, relay races, agility and speed games, strength challenges, intellectual competitions, and other team competitions. Parents will also have their own challenges.

The Sunzha ensemble opened the festival. After the opening ceremony, teams were divided into groups and began their challenges. The junior category has already completed a 100-meter cross-country race, participants tested themselves in speed and agility games, and parents joined in the intellectual program. Particular attention is paid to supporting the participants. Mentors and instructors assist the teams at every stage, and fans create the atmosphere of a true sporting festival.

Participants are also provided with hot meals and hydration. The Sunzha city administration prepared food and water for approximately 1,000 festival participants.

The Republican Clinical Perinatal Center held tactical training exercises on counterterrorism security.

The center's staff, together with officers from the Nazran Department of Internal Affairs and the Nazran Regional Department of Defense, practiced procedures and measures to prevent a security threat during a staged attempt to organize mass riots on the facility's premises.

Approximately 50 people participated in the event. Such exercises allow staff to test their preparedness to respond to threats, practice cooperation between relevant services, and promptly respond to emergency situations.

Ensuring the safety of patients, visitors, and staff remains a priority for the Perinatal Center of the Republic of Ingushetia.

In Nazran, a damaged section of a water main on Sovetskaya Street is being replaced.

In the Altievka Administrative District, specialists from the Unified Operator State Unitary Enterprise have begun replacing a dilapidated water main on Sovetskaya Street. The section being renovated is approximately 600 meters long.

The repairs are necessary due to regular accidents along this section. Pipeline breaks have caused interruptions in water supply to residents in part of the district.

The work is being carried out in stages: the municipality, together with the Unified Operator, is identifying the sections of the network that require priority renovation.

Water supply network renovations are also continuing on other streets in the city. In 2026, large-scale utility line replacements were already carried out in Nazran, including on Gazdiyev Street, where over 600 meters of water mains were renovated and over 1.2 kilometers of sewer collector were installed.

The modernization of utility infrastructure is aimed at reducing the number of network failures and increasing the reliability of the city's water supply.

On September 27, a celebratory event will take place in the Dzheyrakh District to mark World Tourism Day and the closing of the summer tourism season.

The program will take place in the village of Leymi, on the grounds of the Oazdik Children's and Youth Health Complex.

Starting at 10:00 AM, guests can enjoy sports competitions, hiking trails, excursions, and ATV rides.

A concert by the A. Khamkhoev State Philharmonic will begin at 2:00 PM. Performances will include Ayna Aliyeva, Alina Musieva, Khava Yevloyeva, Maryam Oligova, Lolita Khashagulgova, Movsar Aksagov, Zara Ausheva, and Amir Pugoyev.

The concert program will also feature the rock band "Dega Oaz" and the Philharmonic's dance ensemble "Gargarei."

Admission is free.

The event is organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ingushetia.

Large-scale archaeological research is actively underway in the mountainous region of Ingushetia. Two unique vases were discovered during this work in one of the tower settlements.

According to experts, these finds are comparable in scientific and historical significance to the exhibits in one of the world's leading museums, the State Hermitage Museum.

The pieces are made of clay. Photo 1 shows a round, terracotta-colored vase with a handle. Its surface is decorated with a wavy pattern, which lends it uniqueness and artistic value.

Photo 2 shows a white clay vase, which, according to archaeologists, is made in the Iznik style of ceramics, a branch of Ottoman decorative and applied art. The vase is decorated with intricate floral motifs, arabesques, and geometric patterns characteristic of this style.

These artifacts are further evidence that the Ingush possessed the skills to make clay pottery even in ancient times.

The Russian Mountaineering Championship is underway in the Dzheyrakh District.

The strongest climbers from 11 regions of the country are participating in the competition.

Athletes compete in teams of two. The competition is held in a marathon format: participants spend eight hours on the rock face over the course of two days. Physical fitness and technical skill are key, as is tactics—the team must manage their strength wisely, choose a pace, and consider the difficulty of the routes.

The first route on the first day is determined by lottery, while the second route is determined based on the previous day's results. During the route, climbers alternately lead and belay each other. To qualify, both participants must complete the route, reach the finish station, and stow their gear.

Separate rankings are maintained for men's and women's teams. All participants have at least a first-class mountaineering rank.

Hosting the Russian Championship is a major sporting event for Ingushetia. The rock routes of the Dzheyrakh Gorge are well-known among climbers and are used for training. Trails of varying difficulty are laid here, from easy to category 6 routes.

The final results and closing ceremony will take place on September 24 at 7:00 PM.

Yakub Gogiev, a member of the Dzurdzuki Historical and Geographical Society, and representatives of the Koaloi teip conducted an expedition to the summit of Mount Koaloi-Loam, located near the Koale tower complex (not to be confused with the Keli settlement and Mount Kuloi-Loam, located on the opposite side of the Assinovsky Gorge).

The expedition members discovered the remains of several stone structures at the summit.

The first structure is oriented strictly along the east-west axis and measures 4.20 x 5.80 meters. The height of the surviving masonry on the southern side reaches 1.20 meters, reaching an altitude of 2,368 meters above sea level. A unique structural feature of the building is that its northern wall rests directly on a rock outcrop, using it as a natural foundation. The interior is completely filled with collapsed roofing and rubble from the walls. To the north of this site are the ruins of another structure, but the degree of its destruction precluded instrumental measurements. On the southwestern elevation, a pillar-like sanctuary has been identified, surviving to a height of up to two meters. It is noticeably damaged by time, but overall in good condition.

Taken together, the discovered complex convincingly demonstrates the long-term cultic use of this area, likely lasting for several centuries. A shift in religious paradigm deprived these structures of their former significance, and they were abandoned. Final conclusions and a reconstruction of ritual practice will be possible after archaeological excavations, which we hope will reveal the secrets of the past of this unique highland sanctuary.

The Koale tower settlement is located on a spur of Mount Tsorei Loam, 800 meters east of Gerite and 1 km northwest of Barakh.

As a reminder, at the end of last year, in the western part of the complex, staff from the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve discovered a previously unaccounted-for structure, presumably a temple-sanctuary.

The complex also contains six surviving residential towers and a natural spring.

A major renovation of the Community Center in the rural settlement of Troitskoye, Sunzha District, has been completed. The work was carried out as part of the regional project "Family Values ​​and Cultural Infrastructure" of the national project "Family," initiated by the President of Russia.

The building has been completely renovated. The roof was replaced, the façade and entrance area were renovated, interior finishing was completed, new laminate flooring was installed, and suspended ceilings were installed. The heating and ventilation systems were also modernized, air conditioners were installed, and the electrical wiring was replaced.

Particular attention was paid to safety: an automatic fire alarm and a video surveillance system were installed in the Community Center.

Residents of Troitskoye now have a modern space for concerts, creative workshops, meetings, and other public events. This is especially important for children and young people, as it allows them to pursue creative pursuits, develop their skills, and participate in the community's cultural life.

More than 90 gas company employees took part in the Spartakiada Games in the Dzheyrakh District.

Competitions included employees of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Nazran LLC and Gazprom Gazovoy Nazran JSC.

They competed in four disciplines: football, volleyball, tug-of-war, and pull-ups.

Following the competition, the team from the Malgobek Regional Energy Department took first place in the overall team standings, the team from the Main Administration took second place, and the team from the Sunzhensky Repair and Maintenance Site took third place.

The Spartakiada Games provided a platform for sports communication, teamwork, and physical activity for gas industry employees.

Nazran participated in the first international exhibition "PRO LANDSCAPE AND PLANTS 2026," taking place in Mineralnye Vody.

Landscaping and landscaping specialists, planting material producers, landscape architects and designers, and government and business representatives from various regions of Russia and abroad gathered at one venue.

Nazran is represented at the exhibition by a delegation led by Deputy Mayor Milana Markhieva. The delegation also included Lida Uzhakhova, Deputy Director of the Housing and Public Utilities Department for Landscaping and Landscaping, and Fatima Kulbuzheva, Chief Specialist of the Property Relations Department.

The exhibition program runs for three days, from September 17 to 19. Participants will discuss modern landscaping technologies, the development of ornamental nurseries, the creation and maintenance of green spaces, and new solutions for urban spaces.

For Nazran specialists, this is an opportunity to learn about current technologies, exchange experiences with colleagues from other regions, and identify solutions that can be used in future city improvements.

On September 15, a meeting of the administrative commission was held at the Dzheyrakh Municipal District Administration. During the meeting, a case related to the illegal dumping of garbage was considered.

The commission members reviewed the circumstances of the violation and made a decision. The administration urges residents to adhere to public welfare regulations and maintain cleanliness in the district.

Nazran has planned celebratory events to mark the city's 245th anniversary.

A packed program is being prepared for residents and visitors on October 17 and 18.

A large celebratory concert will be held in the courtyard of the Palace of Culture on October 17.

At the same time, Kartskhal Malsagov Park will host its first gastronomic festival, featuring national cuisine, a fair, exhibitions, and folk craft workshops.

The opening of renovated public spaces—Kartskhal Malsagov Park and the city pond—is also timed to coincide with the anniversary dates.

Preparations for the events are currently underway. The Nazran administration is working on the design of the venues and all necessary conditions for the celebration.

The mayor's office will present a detailed program of anniversary events shortly.

Russian Senators Mikail Ilezov and Belan Khamchiev visited the Sunzha District on a working visit.

Together with Anzor Markhiyev, Head of the Administration of the Head and Government of Ingushetia, Isa Tatiyev, Head of the District, and representatives of relevant ministries and local administrations, they inspected the state of social and public infrastructure.

In Alkhasty, they inspected a kindergarten. Residents of the village had inquired about constructing a new building or overhauling the existing one. Therefore, they discussed the condition of the facility and possible solutions on-site.

In Nesterovsky, they visited School No. 1, which is under construction. Among other things, they discussed the situation with the land next to the school and the possibility of building a sports ground there. The sidewalk and pedestrian crossing were also discussed.

Safety issues were also discussed. The markings and lighting of the pedestrian crossing near the sports and recreation center need to be improved, as well as the road between Alkhasty and Nesterovsky.

These field visits allow us to address residents' concerns on-site. Work in these areas is being carried out, in part, as part of the "People's Program," which was developed with input from residents.

Concrete decisions will be made on all the issues identified in the near future.

The improvement of Vokzalnaya Street in Nazran has been completed.

Besides children's homes, social facilities, and a mosque, the street's condition directly impacts residents' daily lives.

The work was completed in stages. This year, a 300-meter section of the road was resurfaced. As a result, the entire street, approximately one kilometer long, is now in good condition.

However, road repairs were only part of the project. Before paving, water mains were replaced and a sewer system was installed.

This year, Nazran celebrates its 245th anniversary. To mark this anniversary, the city continues to renovate streets and public infrastructure—from major projects to areas used by residents every day.

A literary salon dedicated to the work of Boris Shadyzhev was held in Dolakovo.

A literary salon, "Lessons in Morality," was held at the Dolakovo Community Center as part of the "Culture for Schoolchildren" project, marking the 80th anniversary of the birth of Ingush writer, playwright, and publicist Boris Magometovich Shadyzhev.

The schoolchildren participating were told about the author's life and work and presented with selected works, focusing on themes of morality, family values, respect for traditions, and historical memory. The program included expressive readings of excerpts, discussions of the characters' actions, and a discussion of spiritual values.

According to Zaretkhan Bokova, Director of the Alkhasty Community Center, the goal of the event was to clean up and improve the appearance of socially significant facilities used daily by village residents. The event fostered unity among cultural workers and local government officials and also transformed public spaces.

A clay modeling studio is developing at the Ali-Yurt Community Center.

The Ali-Yurt Community Center (Nazran District, Republic of Ingushetia) has a clay modeling studio, and its membership is steadily growing.

The classes not only involve practical clay work but also educational activities: students learn about folklore, ethnic traditions, and historical and scientific knowledge. The classes help develop fine motor skills, speech, and thinking, as well as foster self-expression, discipline, and determination.

According to Madina Ganizheva, director of the cultural and leisure institution, regular participants in the studio have shown increased creative independence—children come to classes with their own project ideas and demonstrate confidence in realizing their creative vision.

Renovations to the Community Center continue in the village of Troitskoye.

Large-scale renovations to the Community Center in the rural settlement of Troitskoye, Ingushetia, are ongoing. The facility is approximately 80% complete: the heating system has been updated, ventilation and video surveillance systems have been installed, and the walls and floors have been repaired.

During the inspection, a number of additional tasks were identified, including landscaping the area around the extension and replacing the roof. Once completed, the facility should become a modern space for cultural events, clubs, and children's activities.

Modernization of cultural institutions in rural communities has significant social significance, contributing to the preservation of traditions and the development of rural areas.

An open, interactive lesson on life safety on "Safety in Various Emergencies" was held at a school in the Dzheyrakh district. During the lesson, students practiced procedures for dealing with man-made, household, natural, and social threats. They covered evacuation procedures in the event of smoke, rules of conduct when smelling gas, during a thunderstorm, and when discovering unattended objects. The practical portion included team problem-solving and a True/False game. Participants demonstrated their skills in calmly responding to emergency situations.

Mobile medical examinations were conducted in settlements of the Sunzha District.

Specialists from the Sunzha Central District Hospital organized mobile preventive examinations in the city of Sunzha, as well as in the rural settlements of Berd-Yurt and Arshty. The examinations were conducted using a mobile medical unit.

During the examinations, previously undiagnosed health conditions were identified in a number of residents, including cases of elevated blood sugar and hypertension. Patients were referred to an endocrinologist and a general practitioner for further evaluation and treatment.

Particular attention was paid to residents with limited mobility and those unable to be transported: doctors visited them at home, examined them, and provided recommendations for further evaluation and treatment. Some patients were recommended mobile consultations with a cardiologist and endocrinologist.

The mobile examinations are aimed at early detection of pathologies and reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases, as well as increasing access to medical care for the population.

In the Dzheyrakh District of Ingushetia, staff at the Dzheyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve have discovered a valuable archaeological site. As reported on the Telegram channel of the State Archival Service of Ingushetia, the find is located on a hill between the tower complexes of Garakh, Falhan, and Metskhal.

The site consists of a platform with four stone steles decorated with pictograms. Relief images were found on the stones, including a circle with symbols and a rhombus. According to the researchers' preliminary theory, the complex symbolizes the four elements: fire, air, water, and earth. Indentations were also found on the surface of the steles; scientists believe they may represent fragments of an ancient star map.

The find is of great scientific value. Restoration of the steles and their comprehensive study are planned for the near future.

The Nazran Regional House of Culture hosted a free screening of the Soviet comedy "The Diamond Arm" (directed by Leonid Gaidai, 1968) as part of the "Cinema Night" event. The event took place on the eve of a nationwide event that will connect venues across the country on August 29.

According to Tamerlan Dzeitov, Director of the Nazran Regional House of Culture, the screening allowed residents and visitors of Nazran to reconnect with their favorite characters and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the golden age of Soviet cinema.

The film "The Diamond Arm," which has become part of the cultural code, united audiences of different generations. Guests of the event noted that the film remains relevant and continues to bring joy to audiences.

A practical "Rescuer School"—one of the activities of the "Young Rescuer" project—was held in the rural settlement of Beini.

Over 50 schoolchildren, college students, and university students experienced real-life situations. Participants practiced safety skills, providing first aid, and working collaboratively in a team.

The practical training included various scenarios, from emergency response to first aid. Previously, as part of the project, young people also learned fire and water safety procedures, evacuation procedures, and trauma response procedures.

The main goal of these training sessions is to teach young people how to remain alert in a critical moment, quickly assess the situation, and provide necessary assistance before emergency services arrive.

The initiative is being implemented with grant support from the Ministry of Foreign Relations, National Policy, Press, and Information of the Republic of Ingushetia.

Comprehensive improvement work on Suvorov Street in Sunzha has been completed.

The renovation of this section addressed one of the most pressing issues for residents: flooding during heavy rainfall.

As part of the project, specialists replaced approximately 400 meters of dilapidated water pipes, installed a stormwater drainage system, a sidewalk, and a new road surface.

The renovated section of road is approximately 600 meters long. Previously, due to the lack of effective drainage, rainwater accumulated on the roadway and adjacent areas. This was the primary focus of the improvement project.

The work on Suvorov Street was carried out in stages: first, the utility lines were upgraded, then the drainage system, sidewalk, and road surface were installed.

Now the street not only has a renovated road but also the necessary utility infrastructure, which should make the area safer and more comfortable for residents.

Students from the future agro-technology class at State Educational Institution "Secondary School No. 5 in the village of Ekazhevo" participated in practical work on harvesting potatoes. In the spring, the students planted the crop, and this year they harvested the harvested crop, reinforcing their knowledge of the fundamentals of plant growing.

During the lesson, the students practiced teamwork, observing natural processes, and taking responsibility for the results of their work.

The development of agro-technology classes continues in the Republic of Ingushetia: six classes have been operating in five schools in the region since September 1, 2025, and seven more classes are planned for this year, including at this school.

The project is being implemented by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Ingushetia jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Ingushetia as part of the federal project "Personnel in the Agro-Industrial Complex" of the national project "Technological Support for Food Security."

Road safety prevention campaigns were held in Nazran.

In anticipation of the new school year, traffic police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia stepped up their road safety efforts in Nazran.

Officers from the traffic police's publicity department, together with Nazran traffic police officers and members of the young traffic inspectors' squad from Secondary School No. 17, held the campaigns "Driver, Let the Pedestrian Pass" and "Save a Life! Slow Down!"

The main goal of these events is to draw the attention of drivers and pedestrians to their mutual responsibility on the road and to remind them of simple rules that help protect life and health.

Drivers were reminded of the need to:

— slow down before pedestrian crossings;

— give way to pedestrians;

— be especially careful near schools and public transportation stops;

— avoid rash maneuvers and overtaking;

— obey the speed limit.

State Traffic Inspectorate officers reminded pedestrians that they should only cross the road at crosswalks, after ensuring it is safe to do so. At night, the use of reflective elements is recommended.

With the start of the school year, the number of children on the city streets will increase. Therefore, the State Traffic Inspectorate urges all road users to be attentive, obey the rules, and remember: road safety begins with everyone's responsibility.

A command post exercise was held in the Dzheyrakh Municipal District Administration.

A command post exercise on the topic of "Actions in the Event of an Emergency" was held in the Dzheyrakh Municipal District Administration.

1. Organizing road safety activities for the new school year.

2. Analyzing the causes of child road traffic injuries in the Dzheyrakh District.

3. Work completed in the district to improve road safety.

Following the meeting of the Road Safety Commission in the Dzheyrakh Municipal District, instructions were given to conduct regular raids to identify traffic violators and organize preventative measures in schools.

Also, enforcement of drunk driving and seatbelt use should be tightened, and the quality of pedestrian crossings and road infrastructure near educational institutions, including lighting and signage, should be improved.

During an inspection tour of the Khyani tower complex, a previously unregistered stone spring was discovered.

The natural water source is located 80 meters south of the Khyani towers, deep in the forest.

The structure is lined with river stones and resembles a tower. It has an L-shaped base and, according to local residents, was landscaped several centuries ago.

After the necessary work is completed, the spring will be included in the list of identified cultural heritage sites of the Republic of Ingushetia.

In Nazran, approximately 10 km of roads will be renovated in its anniversary year.

In the year of its 245th anniversary, Nazran continues to renew its urban infrastructure.

This includes both major repairs of individual sections and the restoration of pavement on streets in need of renovation.

One of the projects is Yuzhnaya Street in the Nasyr-Kort Administrative District. Here, the roadway is being repaired and the surrounding area is being improved. Specifically, a parking area is being created near the Y. I. Arapiyev Ingush Polytechnic College.

The need for an integrated approach is especially noticeable in areas with high traffic congestion. Yuzhnaya Street is located in an area with residential neighborhoods and social facilities, so the road condition and traffic management directly impact residents' daily commute.

Repairs were also previously completed on Lesnaya, Temirkhanov, and Mutsolgov Streets, covering a total length of approximately 800 meters. The renovation affected sections that provide transport links between residential areas and urban infrastructure.

Routine repairs are also being carried out on other streets. Individual sections of the road network are being upgraded, including in response to resident requests. This approach allows for the most problematic areas to be addressed promptly, without having to wait for a major street-wide renovation.

Road renovations are occurring alongside other changes to the urban environment. In Nazran, outdoor lighting is being modernized, public spaces are being landscaped, and courtyards and areas around socially significant facilities are being improved.

For the city, which turns 245 this year, infrastructure development is becoming part of a larger effort to renew Nazran.

The annual "Get Your Child Ready for School" campaign has launched in Nazran.

Following instructions from Nazran Mayor Ruslan Ozdoyev, 700 school bags containing essential stationery have been prepared for children from low-income and needy families.

The annual "Get Your Child Ready for School" campaign is being held at the initiative of the Head of the Republic of Ingushetia, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov, and is aimed at supporting families who particularly need help preparing their children for the new school year.

In Nazran, special attention is being paid to the targeted nature of this assistance—it's crucial that it reaches the families who truly need it.

Ahead of September 1, schoolchildren will receive new school bags and everything they need for the start of the school year.

Support for children and families facing difficult life situations remains a key focus of social work in the city.

A working meeting between representatives of the Ingushetia Archaeological Center and scholars from the Institute for the Study of the Hungarian People (Budapest) was held in Nazran.

The key topic of discussion was the influence of the Scythian era on the material culture monuments and ancient artifacts of the North Caucasus. Deputy Director of the Archaeological Center, Umalat Gadiev, noted the presence of Scythian-type features in a number of burial grounds in the foothills and plateaus (Lugovoy, Nesterovsky, Karabulaksky, Barsukinsky, and others), as well as in the collections of the Ingush State Museum of Local History.

Hungarian archaeologist Veronica Horváth expressed interest in the data obtained and proposed joint research, including in natural sciences.

The parties agreed to systematize contacts, conduct regular monitoring, and exchange the latest source materials. The visit was a continuation of a partnership that began in 2016: at the initiative of Umalat Gadiev, the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Debrecen) conducted radiocarbon dating, which made it possible to establish the precise dating of a number of military towers in the mountainous part of Ingushetia.

The regional tourist rally "More Than a Journey" concluded in the village of Beini.

For three days, participants from the North Caucasus regions met, socialized, attended educational sessions, participated in team activities, and discovered the mountainous Ingushetia.

The most important part of the program was the ascent of Table Mountain. The challenging route required endurance, mutual support, and teamwork. On Russian National Flag Day, the participants unfurled the tricolor right at the summit.

There were other highlights as well: navigation and route reconnaissance classes, map and GPS practice, new friendships, and, of course, plenty of time in the mountains.

Over these three days, the participants not only gained new knowledge and impressions but also formed a true team. We look forward to seeing all the participants back in Ingushetia—on new routes and new peaks!

The main phase of repairs to Dakhkilgova Street has begun in the village of Dolakovo.

The work is being carried out in response to a resident's request voiced in November 2025 during the Direct Line with the Head of the Region, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov. Initially, temporary pothole repairs were carried out on the street, and now the second, major phase is underway.

The section requiring full renovation is approximately 850 meters long. Currently, the old road surface has been removed, the base has been prepared, and a new asphalt layer is planned for later.

The progress of the repairs was inspected by Acting Head of the Municipal Administration, Mukharbek Aushev, Deputy Head of the District Administration, Timerlan Izmailov, and Lead Specialist of the Administrative Commission, Magomed Tarshkhoev. During the inspection, they assessed the current condition of the site and discussed future improvements.

Mukharbek Aushev emphasized that the key objective is to complete the repairs to a high standard, so that Dakhkilgova Street becomes convenient and safe for local residents.

On August 21, a field event dedicated to Russian Flag Day was held in the village of Beini as part of the "Turslet" forum. It was led by staff from the Dzheyrakh Community Center and its students.

The program began with the performance of the Russian National Anthem. During the event, the children learned about the significance of the national flag and its role in the country's history. Previously, staff from the Dzheyrakh Community Center organized a flash mob to mark the holiday.

Finally, the students took part in a photo shoot with the Russian flag.

A sports and fitness center (SFC) with a swimming pool is planned for construction in the rural settlement of Nesterovskoye in the Sunzhensky District of Ingushetia. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027.

The designated site provides ample space not only for a modern sports complex but also for landscaping the surrounding area and organizing outdoor sports activities.

The SFC will become a key social infrastructure facility for the district and a major attraction for young people. The complex will include a swimming pool and multi-purpose halls, allowing residents to enjoy swimming, team sports, and martial arts.

The construction of the SFC will help address the lack of healthy leisure activities in rural areas: teenagers will have a comfortable space for active recreation and regular exercise, while swimming lessons from professional coaches will promote health and water safety.

The Sunzha District House of Culture was recognized as the best House of Culture in Ingushetia based on the results of the annual competition of cultural and leisure institutions for 2026.

The institution received state financial support for the implementation of new projects and further development.

A key focus of the Sunzha District House of Culture is the preservation of national traditions. It is home to the only School of Ingush Adats in the republic, focused on the development of the native language, customs, and distinctive culture. Among the group's significant achievements is a theatrical production of an ancient Ingush rite of passage into manhood.

This victory is the result of the institution's comprehensive efforts: engagement with youth, preservation of historical heritage, and a high level of performing skills.

Construction of a new district hospital is nearing completion in Ali-Yurt.

The Head of Ingushetia, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov, visited the facility and inspected preparations for its opening. This is a particularly important facility for the village, home to over 7,000 people: currently, only an outpatient clinic is available, and residents must seek certain types of medical care in other towns.

The new hospital will have 30 beds and a clinic capable of treating approximately 100 patients per shift. The two-story building, with an area of ​​approximately 2,000 square meters, will house offices for a general practitioner, a surgeon, and a pediatrician, as well as physiotherapy, radiology, and functional diagnostics departments.

Construction began in September 2024 as part of the "Primary Healthcare Modernization" project, part of the "Long Active Life" national project and the United Russia party's People's Program. The cost of the project is approximately 230 million rubles.

The main construction and installation work has already been completed. The contractor is scheduled to complete the remaining work by the end of August, after which the facility will undergo the necessary procedures for commissioning. Once all obligations are met and the license is obtained, the hospital is scheduled to open in mid-September.

The head of the republic also ordered the provision of convenient access to the hospital, parking, and landscaping. Deciduous trees—acacia, chestnut, and linden—are planned for planting.

The main program of the district tourist rally "More Than a Journey" kicked off in the mountain village of Beini in the Dzheyrakh District.

Approximately 150 young participants from regions of the North Caucasus gathered there.

The participants were offered routes through mountainous Ingushetia, meetings, and educational activities that allowed them to see the republic not only as a tourist destination but also to learn more about its history and traditions.

The participants spent the first day getting to know each other and the regions they represent. In the evening, everyone gathered around a campfire, "Uniting Regions," to socialize informally, share their traditions, and learn more about the cultures of neighboring republics.

Three more days of the program lie ahead. Participants will enjoy practical training in "Hiking Culture and Media," "Rescuer," "Camp Guardian," and "Comprehensive Reconnaissance," a meeting with renowned traveler and Znanie Society lecturer Konstantin Merzhoev, a tour to a waterfall, and a climb to Table Mountain.

The Government of Ingushetia welcomes all participants to the rally and wishes them safe travels and unforgettable experiences.

In the Dzheyrakh district, work is underway to develop the all-season resort of Armkhi, including strengthening its infrastructure.

Specialists from Ingushenergo are carrying out major repairs to the power line supplying the resort, part of the Armkhi settlement, the outpatient clinic, the post office, and communications facilities. The project includes replacing 50 damaged and outdated insulators, as well as 4.5 kilometers of dilapidated wire, with modern self-supporting insulated wire.

The modernization of the power grid is aimed at increasing the reliability of the resort's power supply and reducing the risk of outages due to adverse weather conditions. The development of Armkhi involves a comprehensive solution to engineering infrastructure issues, including electricity, water, gas, roads, and other utilities.

A teacher from Troitskoye will participate in the 6th Class Teachers' Forum.

From September 30 to October 2, 2026, the 6th Class Teachers' Forum will be held in Moscow at the National Center "Russia." Participants include four representatives of the education system of the Republic of Ingushetia, including Sakhrat Nakostoeva, a teacher at School No. 2 in the rural settlement of Troitskoye (Sunzhensky District).

This will be Sakhrat Nakostoeva's third participation in the forum: she previously attended the event in 2023 and 2024, and became an ambassador in 2026.

This year, 700 class teachers and curators of secondary vocational education groups were selected from more than 43,000 applications from across the country. At the forum, teachers will have the opportunity to exchange experiences, discuss current educational issues, and establish professional contacts.

The second stage of work on laying new asphalt pavement on Akhrieva Lane has been completed.

An ancient Christian artifact has been discovered in mountainous Ingushetia.

During a research expedition, staff from the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky State Historical, Architectural, and Natural Museum-Reserve discovered a stone structure in the form of a tribune with an engraved cross near the Keli tower complex.

According to preliminary research, the find dates to the early Christian period—the period from the emergence of Christianity (approximately the early 1st century) to the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea (325).

The archival service believes that the stone tribune may be one of the oldest Christian artifacts in modern-day Russia.

On August 18, 2026, the Dzheyrakh District Administration held a regular meeting of the Commission on Minors' Affairs, chaired by Deputy Head of Administration Dzhamaleil Yevkurov.

The meeting was attended by commission members and representatives of relevant agencies.

As a reminder, the Commission meets regularly to prevent crime and protect children's rights in the district.

The "More Than a Journey" district tourism rally will be held from August 20th to 23rd in the mountain village of Beini in the Dzheyrakh District of Ingushetia. The event will bring together 150 young people from across the North Caucasus Federal District.

The program includes theoretical and practical training in the basics of tourism, as well as a climb to Table Mountain. Participants will learn navigation, field nutrition, and first aid. A lecture by Honored Traveler of the Russian Federation Konstantin Merzhoev will be held. Practical treks are divided according to skill level: a route to Lyazhgi Waterfall or an ascent of Table Mountain (over 3,000 m). The evening program aims to strengthen interregional ties and introduce Ingushetia's traditions.

Stormwater drainage and asphalt paving at the road junctions have been completed. The main asphalt paving work will begin once favorable weather conditions return.

An exhibition opened at the Dzheyrakh Community Center, the result of a week-long plein air project involving 30 artists—professional painters, architects, and amateurs.

The group has been traveling to picturesque places in Russia and around the world for 15 years. This time, the artists chose mountainous Ingushetia. For a week, they worked outdoors, painting towers, gorges, and landscapes of the Dzheyrakh region.

The group included members of creative unions of artists and architects of Russia, as well as amateurs: doctors, teachers, lawyers, and architects. Each artist has their own style: watercolor, graphic art, and pencil. But they all shared one thing: mountainous Ingushetia became a source of inspiration. They worked at different times of day and in different weather conditions, each time discovering new colors and images.

The final event was a concert in the assembly hall of the Dzheyrakh Community Center. Local artists performed a traditional dance for the guests, wearing a kurkhars headdress, and the Ingush song "Lorsa Lida." The artists themselves also took to the stage, creating a lively cultural exchange.

The Ingushetia Ministry of Culture and Tourism provided support to the group, arranging a meeting, accommodation, and assistance for the participants throughout the trip.

In Dzheyrakh, an area chosen for improvement by residents is being transformed.

Work on a public area along Akhrieva Lane is nearing completion. The contract stipulates that work will continue until the end of the year, but the improvements are expected to be completed ahead of schedule—by the end of September.

Currently, specialists are preparing the foundation for laying a new asphalt pavement. The project also includes the construction of a retaining wall, the installation of benches, and the improvement of a spring. The work is being carried out as part of the federal project "Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life."

This is not the first site in the Dzheyrakh District to be transformed thanks to the votes of residents. Last year, a public area in the village of Furtoug, at the entrance to Dzheyrakh, was improved. It now features paving slabs, gazebos, greenery, modern lighting, and a fountain.

Residents of the republic continue to actively participate in determining improvement priorities. This year, more than 67,000 people participated in the vote. The competition resulted in the winning design projects and eight public spaces, which will be implemented in 2027.

In total, approximately 24 sites selected by residents will be improved in the republic in 2026.

The grand opening of the All-Russian Youth Forum "Targim-2026" took place in the Dzheyrakh District.

Anzor Markhiyev, Head of the Administration of the Head and Government of Ingushetia, Akhmed Lyanov, Head of the Dzheyrakh District, and Zaurbek Poshev, Chairman of the Republic's Youth Affairs Committee, congratulated the participants on the opening of the forum.

They wished the youth productive work, new knowledge, vivid impressions, and the successful implementation of their most daring initiatives.

For several years now, "Targim" has become a platform for new ideas, useful connections, and projects that contribute to the development of regions and the country.

Construction of a 120-child boarding school continues in Galashki.

Ingush Minister of Construction Musa Iliev inspected the construction progress. The facility has been under construction since January 2025.

Currently, construction workers are completing the building's exterior cladding, roofing, and window installation. Electrical work, ventilation, heating, water supply, sewerage, and low-voltage systems are underway inside. Landscaping of the surrounding area has also begun.

During the inspection, the minister discussed with contractor representatives the work schedule, the quality of construction materials, and the completion date.

The new specialized boarding school will accommodate children from various districts of the republic, create additional jobs, and become an important social infrastructure facility for the Sunzhensky District.

Construction is scheduled for completion this year. The contractor confirmed that the work is on schedule.

During archaeological excavations at the Khamkhi tower complex, a large castle-type tower settlement in the center of the Targim Basin in the Dzheyrakh District of Ingushetia, human skeletal remains, a clay jug, a knife, and an ancient saber with a handle, a long blade, and a characteristic curve toward the butt were discovered.

The excavations were conducted in a medieval above-ground crypt. The skeletal remains were discovered under the second burial layer, in a special wooden enclosure. A knife and a clay jug with a handle were found nearby. Presumably, this was the burial of a person of considerable renown at the time (possibly a renowned warrior).

Of greatest interest to researchers are the human skeleton, over 2 meters tall, and the ancient saber, which, at first glance, appears to have preserved its shape and all its structural elements well.

Archaeological work is being carried out with the financial support of the Safmar charitable foundation.

The first phase of the "3D Chronicle from Generation to Generation: Protecting Cultural Heritage" project, which involves creating high-precision 3D models of cultural heritage sites using terrestrial laser scanning, has been completed.

To date, work has been completed on the Tkhaba-Yerdy and Albi-Yerdy churches, as well as the Erzi, Targim, Sredniy Ozdik, Beini, and Khamkhi tower complexes.

Work to protect the Sunzha River from illegal discharges continues.

The city administration conducts regular inspections to detect unauthorized wastewater discharges into the Sunzha River.

Specialists conducted their latest inspections on Suvorov and Rosa Luxemburg Streets. Residents of homes located near the river were given leaflets with information on water protection regulations and penalties for violations.

Previous inspections revealed 47 cases of illegal discharges, including 19 cases of direct sewage discharges. The reports have been submitted to the competent authorities, and some residents have already begun rectifying the violations.

Efforts to improve the river's health continue. Construction of a treatment facility near Engels Street is planned for the future, which will reduce the load on the river.

Construction of a new bridge continues in Sunzha.

The new structure will improve transport accessibility and ensure safe travel for residents of adjacent areas. Mayor Aslan Umarov inspected the work.

To date, the contractor has completed the preparatory stage: the concrete foundation has been laid, which will serve as the foundation for the future bridge's piers.

Customers will soon begin installing the piers, followed by the construction of the superstructure and the monolithic section of the structure.

The next stages will include installing a drainage system, reinforcing the slopes, and constructing the roadway and pedestrian sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. After the main work is complete, barriers will be installed and road markings will be applied.

According to the design, the new bridge will be 50 meters long and 12 meters wide. The new structure will ensure safe and comfortable movement of vehicles and pedestrians at any time of year. Construction is scheduled to be completed and the bridge commissioned by the end of the year.

A student scientific expedition has launched at the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve to create high-precision 3D models of cultural heritage sites using terrestrial laser scanning and, possibly, aerial photography.

The project is being implemented with the assistance and support of the Committee for the State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites and the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve.

Students from the V.G. Shukhov Belgorod State Technological University will participate in the expedition, which will take place in the Republic of Ingushetia from July 20 to 30, 2026.

Their project, "3D Chronicle from Generation to Generation: Protecting Cultural Heritage," won the federal competition for student scientific expeditions, "Rediscovering Russia," organized by the "Russia – Land of Opportunity" platform.

Project Manager: Natalya Vladimirovna Shirina, Head of the Department of Urban Cadastre and Engineering Surveys at V.G. Shukhov University, Associate Professor, and Candidate of Technical Sciences.

The goal of the expedition is to create high-precision digital twins and 3D models of cultural heritage sites in the mountainous Ingushetia region by integrating terrestrial laser scanning and aerial photogrammetry.

The obtained data will provide preventative documentation of the condition of the monuments for their subsequent restoration, scientific study, and for use in Russian and international platforms for the digital preservation of cultural heritage.

Expedition Objectives:

Conduct terrestrial laser scanning and aerial photography of the region's historical monuments.

Create textured 3D models and high-resolution orthophotomaps.

Create a catalog of the objects with metadata.

Transfer the materials to the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve and post them on the 3D Heritage portal (Geoscan Group).

Test a method for digitally documenting cultural heritage in mountainous areas using Russian software.

The expedition will result in the creation of a set of interconnected digital products with both scientific and socio-cultural value.

All materials will be donated to the State Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites and the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve.

New coastal protection projects are being implemented on the Sunzha River.

Mikail Miziev, the regional Minister of Ecology, presented projects for protecting the banks of the Sunzha River at a working meeting with Maxim Korolkov, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia.

The first section is the rural settlement of Troitskoye, starting from the bridge on Chkalov Street. The coastal protection structures, approximately 1.9 km long on both banks, are designed to protect 141 homes and approximately 770 people.

The second section is the city of Sunzha, on Krupskoy Street. The project includes approximately 1.85 km of coastal protection to protect 84 residential buildings, a boarding school with 230 children on a 24-hour basis, and a kindergarten.

The need for the work was confirmed by a commission survey involving relevant agencies and appeals from local residents. The design documentation has passed state expert review, and the cost estimate is currently being updated.

The riverbed cleanup in the village of Yandara, where work is ahead of schedule, was also discussed separately.

"The community has been asking for riverbank reinforcement for years, and our goal is to translate these requests into concrete results," noted Mikhail Miziev.

The presentation of the Russian-Ingush dictionary, compiled in 1846 by educator Grigory Tsamtsiev, took place on July 6 in Magas.

Akhmedkhan Sampiev, Acting Director of the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve, also participated in the event.

The newly published Russian-Ingush dictionary contains over a thousand Ingush words with Russian translations.

This is one of the first systematic works on Ingush vocabulary, and is of great value to scholars.

The first advance copy, a limited edition, was published by Bersnako Gazikov, Ruslan Kurkiyev, and Magomed Ozdoyev.

The dictionary charts the transformation of the Ingush language over nearly two centuries. It is invaluable material for comparative historical research.

On July 2, 2026, a regular meeting of the Public Council and representatives of other public organizations was held in Magas with the heads of the Committee for State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites, Timirlan Kodzoev, and the Dzheyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve, Akhmedkhan Sampiev.

The agenda included restoration, archaeology, and preservation options for the Tkhaba-Yerdy temple and other historical and cultural monuments of the republic.

Present at the meeting were Kureysh Tsoroyev, a deputy of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Ingushetia, public figure, and concurrently, Chairman of the Public Council; representatives of the Council of Teips; Doctor of Historical Sciences, ethnographer, and renowned academic and public figure, Zeynep Dzarakhova; researcher and archivist Bersnako Gazikov; Executive Director of the Dzurdzuki Cultural Heritage Site, Yakub Gogiev; and Magomed Kartoyev, a senior researcher in the Department of History of Ingushetia at the V.I. Chakha Akhrieva, Ruslan Bekov, a senior researcher at the E.I. Krupnov Archaeological Center, museum-reserve staff, restorers, public figures, activists, and everyone interested in the history of Ingushetia.

The participants decided to openly discuss all the pressing issues in order to develop a unified vision for how work should be conducted on these centuries-old sites, which are considered a national treasure of the republic.

In his speech, Timirlan Kodzoev emphasized that, given the historical and cultural significance of the Tkhaba-Yerdy temple not only for the region but also for the country as a whole, it will receive close attention from both government agencies and public organizations during the work. He also emphasized the need to establish a working group to oversee all restoration work underway in the Dzheyrakh district.

Temporary wooden structures have been installed on the monument to prevent its destruction, and the first stage of archaeological excavations has been successfully completed.

Magomed-Sali Aushev, representing the Council of Teips, added that the successful restoration of this monument will be recognition of the skill of those who worked on its revival.

Bersnako Gazikov noted that, in parallel with the restoration of the monuments, work must also be carried out to preserve historical data about them on paper. He emphasized the need to document these objects, which, in his view, is a key aspect of this work.

Magomed Kartoyev expressed his opinion that restoration should be prioritized on those monuments that have retained a large structural volume and pose a risk of collapse in the near future. In contrast, monuments with a smaller volume and no risk of collapse can be restored later.

In his presentation, Yakub Gogiev, based on scientific sources, presented a detailed justification for why the eighth-ninth centuries should be considered a more likely date for the construction of the Tkhaba-Yerdy temple than the thirteenth-fourteenth centuries. He also explained why, if artisans from other countries were involved in the construction of the church, preference should be given to Ingush specialists.

Concluding the meeting, the participants set the date for the next session and the range of issues to be discussed.

The event was held in a friendly atmosphere, allowing everyone to speak up and be heard.

A modern 2.5-kilometer-long road is being constructed in Sunzha as part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.

The Ministry of Roads of the Republic of Ingushetia is carrying out a series of construction projects on a new road aimed at improving the city's transportation infrastructure.

Currently, specialists are preparing the base for the asphalt concrete pavement: grading and leveling the soil using graders, compacting the roadway, installing curbs, and installing a pedestrian sidewalk.

The project includes the construction of six public transportation stops, which will improve the convenience and accessibility of routes for residents.

In addition to the roadway, the project includes the installation of a pedestrian sidewalk. Engelsa Street and the surrounding area are actively developing and being developed, increasing the significance of the work being carried out.

Completion of construction and installation work is scheduled for the end of this year.

Renovation work has begun at the Family Recreation Park in Sunzha.

Specialists have begun the first phase of landscaping the public space. Outdated park infrastructure elements—benches, trash cans, and other structures that have been in use for many years—are currently being dismantled.

This work was previously impossible due to legal proceedings. After completing the necessary legal procedures, it became possible to begin a comprehensive renovation of the park.

At the same time, the fencing along Bogatyreva Street is being replaced.

Once all work is completed, the Family Recreation Park will become a more modern, comfortable, and convenient place for walks and recreation for residents and visitors.

A press conference was held in Magas on June 18, where Mikail Tumgoev, a representative of the Safmar charitable foundation in the Republic of Ingushetia, and heads of relevant agencies answered journalists' questions.

Mikail Tumgoev reported that 220 ancient monuments have been restored in the mountainous part of Ingushetia during restoration work, with slightly more than a hundred planned for this year.

Particular attention was paid to the quality of the work being carried out.

Timirlan Kodzoev, Head of the Committee for the State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Republic of Ingushetia, noted that each stage of restoration undergoes strict quality control, and all projects developed are subject to mandatory approval by the Committee before implementation.

Akhmedkhan Sampiev, Acting Head of the Committee for the State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Republic of Ingushetia. The acting director of the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve added that the institution, together with the Committee, conducts on-site activities to oversee restoration, conservation, and emergency response work to preserve historical and architectural sites.

Umalat Gadiev, Deputy Director of the E.I. Krupnov Archaeological Center, shared that archaeological research, which is also an integral preliminary component of restoration, reveals a vast historical and cultural layer of the region, revealing previously unknown facts about its history.

At the end of the discussion, the participants discussed the extensive cemetery restoration work that has been completed. By the end of 2025, 94 cemeteries had been restored, and the remaining 15 are planned to be restored by the end of 2026.

For the campers at School No. 7 in Sunzha, the staff of the National Library of the Republic of Ingushetia prepared a rich program combining literature, cinema, and useful knowledge.

The children learned about the works of Alexander Volkov, author of the famous series of books about the Magic Land. A book exhibition was specially organized for the writer's 135th anniversary, followed by a quiz on his works. The most active participants eagerly answered questions and reminisced about their favorite fairy tale characters.

The meeting continued with a screening of the film "Return to Oz," which left the children thrilled and in high spirits.

Special attention was paid to safety issues. Specialists from the Legal Information Center spoke with the children about the dangers of drugs and the importance of a responsible attitude toward their health, and distributed informational leaflets.

On June 11, 2026, staff from the Dzheyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve conducted a field visit to the Borga-Kash Mausoleum to monitor and clean the surrounding area.

Borga-Kash is one of the earliest surviving Muslim monuments in the North Caucasus, located in the rural settlement of Plievo in the Nazran District of the Republic of Ingushetia.

As a result of the campaign, the surrounding area was brought into proper sanitary condition, weeds and unwanted vegetation were removed, and all household waste was collected and removed.

The Borga-Kash Mausoleum is a historical and cultural monument of national significance and is under state protection.

In the Sunzha and Malgobek districts, specialists conducted a survey of cereal crops.

Representatives of the Rosselkhoztsentr branch in the Ingushetia region and the regional Ministry of Agriculture participated in the field visit. The main objective of the survey was to assess the condition of agricultural crops and determine the necessary measures to preserve future harvests.

During the survey, specialists assessed the condition of the crops and conducted phytosanitary monitoring for pests and signs of plant diseases.

Following the survey, agricultural producers were given recommendations on crop protection and the implementation of necessary agricultural practices. This work enables the timely identification of potential risks and the implementation of measures to improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

Improvements to public spaces in Sunzha continue as part of the federal project "Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life."

Oskanova Street is the latest site to be renovated. A 200-meter stretch of the roadway has been widened, new asphalt has been laid, curbs and modern street lighting have been installed, and a parking area has been developed.

These improvements have made traffic more comfortable and safe, and the additional parking lane will reduce the likelihood of congestion in one of the city's busiest areas.

The project also includes landscaping of the surrounding area. Perennial red-leaf maples have been planted along the street, complementing the updated appearance of one of the city's central thoroughfares.

It is worth noting that in 2026, as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life," 24 public spaces in various municipalities of the region are planned for improvement.

The Dzheyrakh-Assin State Historical, Architectural, and Natural Museum-Reserve was established on June 2, 1988.

By decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Dzheyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve was included in the list of historical and cultural heritage sites of federal significance.

The Dzheyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve is located in the Dzheyrakh District of Ingushetia, the republic's only mountainous region, and is the largest open-air museum in Russia. Its grounds contain over 4,000 ancient monuments.

The main goal of the museum-reserve is to protect, preserve, and promote the republic's historical and cultural monuments and architectural ensembles.

The republic's tower architecture is a unique cultural heritage, faithfully reflecting the reality of the people's lives.

Currently, Ingushetia boasts over a hundred architectural complexes, numerous crypts, shrines, and other structures, and over 4,000 cultural heritage sites, of which 349 are listed in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Sites as sites of federal, regional, and municipal significance.

Mountainous Ingushetia is the center of the spiritual and material culture of the Ingush people.

Artifacts of material culture are of primary importance for the history of the Ingush people, as they compensate for the lack of written sources. Defensive and domestic structures, funerary and religious monuments, as well as various artifacts such as household items, weapons, and jewelry, provide invaluable material for reconstructing the historical life of the people.

Indeed, this region is renowned for its unique combination of natural and mountainous landscapes and its abundance of ancient and medieval monuments, which constitute the Ingush people's primary national treasure.

On April 21, 2026, a ceremony was held at the Tugan Malsagov Ingush State Museum of Local History to honor the handover by representatives of the Institute of Caucasus Archaeology of the fourth part of the artifacts discovered in 2018 during the reconstruction of the Kavkaz federal highway in the Gamurzievsky Administrative Okrug.

The archaeological excavations were stored at the Institute of Caucasus Archaeology for nearly six years, during which time a tremendous amount of work was carried out on their study, description, and cartography.

The event was attended by Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Ingushetia V.V. Slastenin, People's Assembly Deputy A.Kh. Tsoroev, Minister of Culture and Tourism of the Republic Z.I. Lyanova, representatives of the Institute of Caucasus Archaeology, and the heads of the Committee for the State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites T.U. Kodzoev. and the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve, A.A. Sampiev; Associate Professor of the History Department at Ingush State University, Professor E.D. Muzhekhoeva; Director of the Franco-Ingush Research Center in Paris, Professor Isa Bokov at Sorbonne University; researcher, archaeologist, and Deputy Director of the E. Krupnov Archaeological Center, Umalat Gadiev; researchers of Ingushetia's material culture, ethnographers, public figures from the Dzurdzuki Ingush Cultural Heritage Site, university professors, artists, local historians, students, and others interested in the history of the Ingush people.

In 2018, the "Kavkaz" federal highway was being widened in the Gamurzievo area. Soon, routine construction work led to a full-scale archaeological expedition. During this time, entire cities (or rather, what remains of them – fortified settlements) have been discovered underground, along with Scythian burial mounds containing ancient artifacts: clay vessels, bronze and gold jewelry, and even the mysterious remains of people with deformed skulls.

The Gamurzievskoye settlement is a historical settlement in the Nazran District of Ingushetia. The ruins of the ancient settlement occupy a vast area – approximately 10,000 square meters.

In total, over 4,000 ancient artifacts were discovered during the excavations, dating, according to experts, to the Koban culture and the Alanian era.

All speakers agreed that the discovered artifacts are of great scientific interest to the history and culture of the republic and that their study allows for a new understanding of the trade and cultural ties of the ancient tribes that inhabited the territory of Ingushetia, as well as a clarification of the timeframe of their existence.

Biyaslan Atabiev, Director of the Caucasus Archaeology Institute, notes that the significance of these finds extends far beyond the Caucasus: "The ceramic vessels and jewelry pieces among the transferred artifacts provide insight into trade routes, trade and economic ties, and the level of socioeconomic development of society..."

Yesterday, staff from the Caucasus Archaeology Institute delivered a collection of ornamented gold, silver, and bronze jewelry, which will be stored in a special bank vault under temperature control.

The transfer of the artifacts to the Ingush people was made possible thanks to the joint efforts of T. U. Kodzoev, Head of the Committee for the State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites; A. A. Sampiyev, Head of the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve; and M. Z. Sagov, Head of the Local History Museum. and the director of the Institute of Caucasus Archaeology, Biyaslan Atabiyev, who, back in late 2023, reached a mutual agreement to return the finds to their historical homeland.

On April 11, 2026, employees of the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve and the State Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Republic of Ingushetia held a joint cleanup day in the adjacent office areas of Magas.

Employees cleaned the lawns behind the building and cleared the streets adjacent to the office building of debris and last year's leaves.

As a result of these activities, the office building on Borova Street was cleared of household waste, dead trees, and last year's leaves, which were collected and removed to a designated area.

A.A. Sampiev, Director of the Museum-Reserve, thanked all participants and added that more cleanup days will be held throughout the month, including in mountainous areas.

Monitoring the medieval religious monument, the Dyalite temple-sanctuary.

0.2 km north of the village of Kart, on the crest of a high hill, stands the heavily damaged, large Dyalite temple-sanctuary, dating from the late Middle Ages.

The sanctuary is rectangular in base, with a gabled, stepped roof. In the past, the temple-sanctuary was highly revered by the Ingush, who even gathered there in the late 19th century to resolve common issues.

Monitoring the Doshkhakly Rock Temple.

Akhmedkhan Sampiev, acting director of the museum-reserve, recently conducted an inspection tour of the Doshkhakly temple-sanctuary, located in the western part of the Doshkhaklye tower settlement.

The site was discovered, introduced into scientific circulation, and subjected to archaeological excavations by M.B. Muzhukhoev in 1979-1980 . It dates back to the 14th-15th centuries.

The sanctuary is a highly original structure with narrow entrances; it is built into the cliff face and has three chambers. The temple once had a large annex with a separate entrance. Only the foundation of this annex remains today.

Yakub Gogiyev, executive director of the Dzurdzuki Historical and Cultural Center, rightly notes the similarity of the building to the rock formations of Table Mountain.

The bones and horns of sacrificial and wild animals are found inside the monument. The walls are wide, with small hiding places and niches.

The structure is dilapidated; the roof is missing.

During these days, Magomed Akhilgov, an inspector at the museum-reserve, held a preventative discussion with students from the Dzheyrakh school, aimed at fostering a respectful attitude toward the region's historical and cultural monuments.

As a result of this event, the children learned more about the republic's cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it for future generations.

As part of the work plan, museum-reserve employee M. Chakhkiev held an informative talk with students from the Gul village school about the republic's historical and cultural monuments and how to treat them with care.

The event took place in a friendly and warm atmosphere, during which the children learned about the significance of the towers for studying the history of the region and the importance of preserving them for future generations.

On January 24, the premiere of Bashir Gatagazhev's historical documentary film “Twelve Degrees” took place at the Cultural Development Center in Magas.

This project is the result of many years of research by scientists in Ingushetia.

The event was attended by the Head of the Committee for State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites, T. U. Kodzoev, Acting Director of the Dzejrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve, Akhmetkhan Sampiev, as well as historians, public figures, researchers, university professors, cultural workers, and others.

The film “Twelve Degrees” is dedicated to the history of Ingushetia, the ancient Ingush temple “Thaba-Erdy” and the reconstructed historical objects – 12 thrones installed near the temple last summer. The film presents in detail the material collected over years of research, which reveals the peculiarities of the social structure and values passed down from generation to generation over the centuries.

On the origin of the name “Khamkhi.”

From the scientific publication by N. D. Kodzoev, “The Toponym ‘Khamkhi’ and the Sacred Tree.”

Legends about the founding of Khamkhi explain its name as the proper name of the founder of the settlement itself, but this is not true. According to Ingush traditions, when forming toponyms for settlements, a component indicating the type of settlement is added to the name, for example, it can be the words “pkhya” (Golashpkhye), ‘khala’ (Egi-Khala), “koa” (Zovra-Koa) or “yurt” (Toi-Yurt), etc. If such a component is not added to the name, i.e., the name of the settlement consists of one word (Targim, Khamkhi, Kart, etc.), then such a name does not come from a person's proper name. In this case, the name has a different meaning. Usually, stories about the founders of a particular settlement or community arise much later than its foundation in an attempt to explain its name.

V.B. Vinogradov and K.Z. Chokaev noted that “the term ‘Khamkhi’ cannot be clearly etymologized, especially in its first part. The second part of the word is more transparent in etymological terms—hi—‘water, river’.”

A.S. Suleimanov, a researcher of the toponymy of Chechnya and Ingushetia, cites the folk etymology of Khamkh: “to appreciate, to honor, to respect, etc.” This etymology is derived from the Ingush word “kham.” It is possible that the name of the settlement of Khamkhi is associated with the concept of a “sacred tree”: from the Ingush word “kham” — “valuable, revered, sacred” and ‘hi’ — “trunk, tree.” Indeed, the cult of the “sacred tree” has been present in the myths of most peoples of the world since ancient times.

The word “hi” (‘tree’) has a counterpart in the Georgian language - “he”. In his linguistic works, the scientist N.Ya. Marr, known for his research in linguistics, oriental studies, Caucasian studies, history, ethnography, and archaeology, hypothesized that the Georgian word “khati” and the Armenian “khach,” which have a common root, come from the Georgian names for trees ‘he’ and “dzel.” Furthermore, based on historical evidence of the ancient veneration of trees in ancient Georgia and ancient Armenia, Nikolai Yakovlevich puts forward the proposition that the terms “he” and “dzel”, as well as the corresponding Megrelian form of the name of the tree dja (za), originally meant a cult tree, specifically an oak or a linden tree.

The mountain Georgians called the tree of abundance “hemhvani,” which sounds similar to the Ingush word “khamkhi.” At the Thaba-Yarda temple, located near Khamkhi, there was a fragment of a baked clay slab depicting a tree with two chamois on either side. This fragment of a tile (a type of brick) was found in the Tkhaba-Erda temple in 1901. In the 1920s, this fragment was kept in the Ingush Regional Museum in Vladikavkaz. Its further fate is unknown.

The image of the “sacred tree” was also widespread in the ancient civilizations of the Near East and the Caucasus.

Ethnographer and Georgian scholar V.V. Bardavelidze reports on a Svan drawing depicting a pine tree, “to whose branches two goat figures standing on either side are reaching,” which, in her opinion, represents “very close parallels to the motif of the ‘world tree’ or ‘tree of life’ widely spread in ancient Eastern art.”

Images of goats on both sides of the “sacred tree” — the “tree of life and abundance” — have been known since the time of Sumer. A seal belonging to an official from the temple of Uruk (Sumer, 4th–3rd millennium BC) depicts a flowering bush symbolizing the “sacred tree” with the goddess Inanna and two goats on either side of the “tree.”

Thus, it is quite possible that the name of the tower settlement of Khamkhi refers to the cult of the “sacred tree.”

Khamkhi is one of the largest castle-type tower settlements in Mountainous Ingushetia, located in the center of the Targim Basin on the left bank of the Assa River. Currently, Khamkhi is administratively part of the Dzejrakhsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia.
