"A joint meeting of the Council and the Board of Trustees of the Renaissance Charitable Foundation, established in 2023 by the famous Russian businessman and philanthropist Mikhail Gutseriev with the support of federal and regional executive authorities to implement socially significant projects in Ingushetia, was held in Moscow. The results of the Foundation's work in 2024 were summarized.
The Foundation works in six key areas: preservation of historical heritage, culture, sports, support for children with disabilities, preservation of spiritual values, and publishing books.
It is hard to imagine the scale of restoration work on tower complexes in the Jeyrakhsky district, which is being carried out with the assistance of the Renaissance Foundation. For several years now, entire Ingush settlements in the mountains - Kharp, Morch, Pui, Bisht, Eban and others - have been consistently restored. Active archaeological work is also underway at one of the oldest Christian temples, Tkhaba-Yerdy, and at the Vovnushki castle complex. Assistance was provided in the restoration of one of the most important objects of cultural heritage of federal significance “Nazranovskaya Fortress”, with which the history of Ingush people of the 19th century is connected. The only Russian school of mason-restorers was established in Nizhny Puya, and an archaeological museum and a museum of Ingush everyday life were opened there.
Historical reconstruction of the dwellings, everyday life and lifestyle of our ancestors in the mountains is invaluable. Our generation has a rare opportunity to get in touch with the material past of the people. To feel the atmosphere, to feel the spirit of their people. It is worth a lot.
Mountainous Ingushetia has always been a unique historical place and attracted Russian and foreign tourists: only here they could see such architectural monuments of medieval stone architecture, especially recreated in their original form.
In addition, the Renaissance Foundation pays special attention to our children. Special meals have been purchased for children with disabilities. This is a huge and invaluable help for parents. Modern equipment was purchased for the National Children's Theater, which expanded their technical capabilities. This is an important moment for staging diverse performances and conducting additional classes.
A lot has been done, more work and projects important for our republic lie ahead.
I would like to sincerely thank Mikail Gutseriev for his significant personal contribution to the social and economic development of the Republic of Ingushetia.
As Mikail Safarbekovich says, the Renaissance Foundation is changing life in Ingushetia for the better. Each of the projects implemented in the region leaves its mark in the lives of ordinary people - residents and guests of the republic.
He also assured that in 2025 it will continue to support long-term projects, such as the restoration of tower complexes and other historical sites of the republic, and will also define a list of new initiatives that will help solve the basic needs of Ingushetia's residents” - Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov, Head of the Republic of Ingushetia.
