Irafsky District

Welcome to the Irafsky District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Located in the southwestern part of the republic, most of the district is mountainous. It borders Georgia, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, and the Digorsky and Alagirsky districts. The administrative center is the village of Chikola. The population is over 15,000 people, mainly Ossetians and Russians. The Ossetians of the district speak the Digor dialect of the Ossetian language. The economy of the Irafsky District is based on agriculture—there are five collective farms and four state farms here. The district also has a consumer services complex, housing and utilities enterprises, and the Fasnalskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant. Tourism is well developed. The district is rich in historical, cultural, and natural monuments. The Alania National Park is located in the district, where there are many mountaineering, tourist, and ecological trails.

As part of the national "Family" project, a unified lesson dedicated to the rich traditional culture of the Ossetian people and their family values ​​was held in all schools in the Irafsky District.

The event involved all students, from 1st to 11th grade. The lesson's main goal was not simply to introduce, but to systematize and deepen the children's knowledge of the history, customs, language, folklore, and distinctive art of Ossetia.

Particular attention was paid to centuries-old traditions, inviolable family values, legendary Caucasian hospitality, as well as deep respect for elders and veneration of ancestors.
