The Committee for State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Republic of Ingushetia is an executive body exercising the transferred powers of the Russian Federation in the field of preservation, use, popularization and state protection of cultural heritage objects in the territory of the Republic of Ingushetia. Formed by the Decree of the Head of the Republic of Ingushetia of 14/03/2023 No. 31 “On improving the structure of executive bodies of state power of the Republic of Ingushetia”. Tasks of the Committee: protection and preservation of valuable objects of cultural heritage in the territory of the republic; implementation of federal, regional state control (supervision) in the field of protection of cultural heritage objects; organization of work on identification and state registration of objects with signs of cultural heritage; development and implementation of programs of the Republic of Ingushetia in the field of preservation, use, popularization and state protection of cultural heritage objects; organization of work to establish the historical and cultural value of an object with signs of a cultural heritage object, including with the involvement of specialists in the field of protection of cultural heritage objects; issuance of a task and permit, coordination of project documentation for the preservation of the object of cultural heritage and participation in the acceptance of works for the preservation of the object of cultural heritage.

ACM Group continues its work to identify previously unrecorded historical structures in mountainous Ingushetia and enter information about them into the Unified Electronic Database of Monuments of Ingushetia, with the full support of the SAFMAR Charitable Foundation. Structures that exhibit characteristics of cultural heritage sites must also be included in the Register of Cultural Heritage Sites of Ingushetia for their legal and practical protection.

The ACM Group team has completed its work identifying and studying structures at the Upper Puy Tower Complex. Three cultural heritage sites are listed in the existing register. ACM Group specialists have identified an additional 18 historical structures at the complex, including towers and crypts.

ACM Group submitted 18 applications to the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of Ingushetia for inclusion of newly identified sites in the Register of Newly Identified Cultural Heritage Sites of Ingushetia. We hope that within 90 working days, another 18 sites will be legally designated and take their rightful place among other unique monuments of the Russian Federation.

As a reminder, it was through the initiative of the SAFMAR Charitable Foundation and the work of ACM Group that 117 towers and crypts were included in the Register of Cultural Heritage Sites in early June.
