Prigorodny District

Welcome to the Prigorodny District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The Prigorodny District was formed in 1944. It occupies the mountainous and foothill areas in the southeast of the republic, as well as the Terskaya sloping plain. It borders the Alagirsky, Ardon, and Pravoberezhny districts, as well as the Republic of Ingushetia, Georgia, and South Ossetia. The administrative center is the village of Oktyabrskoye. The population of the Prigorodny District is about 100,000 people. The district is mainly inhabited by Ossetians, but there are also Ingush, Georgians, Russians, and others. There are many historical monuments in the district, including the ancient Ingush settlement of Dzhimara, dating back to the 13th century. The Prigorodny District actively attracts tourists. The seventh highest peak of the Caucasus Mountains, Kazbek, is located here. The district has a well-developed social infrastructure. The settlements have schools, kindergartens and nurseries, cultural institutions, libraries, sports facilities, and medical institutions. The district also has industrial, manufacturing, agricultural, and commercial enterprises.

A round table discussion was held in the Prigorodny District with the participation of women of Ossetian and Ingush nationalities, dedicated to strengthening interethnic peace and harmony, especially among young people. The meeting was initiated by public organizations of the republic.

The participants emphasized the particular importance of maintaining stability and mutual understanding between the peoples living in the district. They noted the inadmissibility of domestic conflicts spilling over into the interethnic sphere and called for active preventive measures to be taken with young people, aimed at strengthening friendship and harmony.

In order to involve young people in the process of strengthening interethnic ties, it was proposed to actively engage them in joint socially significant projects implemented in the Prigorodny district. The importance of using methods of public diplomacy in resolving emerging everyday conflicts was also emphasized.
