Committee of Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Ingushetia

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 unregistered historical buildings in the mountainous region of Ingushetia and add them to the Unified Electronic Database of Monuments in Ingushetia, which is being created by the company with the support of the SAFMAR Charitable Foundation. Buildings that have the characteristics of cultural heritage sites must also be entered into the Register of Cultural Heritage Sites of Ingushetia for their legal and actual protection.

The existing Register contains 22 cultural heritage sites, including towers and crypts. ACM Group specialists have identified 77 more historical monuments at Meller that have the characteristics of cultural heritage sites, including unique foundations of towers and farm buildings, as well as stone steles.

ACM Group has submitted 77 applications to the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites in Ingushetia to include the identified sites in the Register of Newly Identified Cultural Heritage Sites in Ingushetia. We hope that within 90 working days, another 77 objects will legally become identified cultural heritage objects of the Russian Federation and take their rightful place among other unique monuments of the country. ACM Group is ready to provide all additional necessary assistance to legally protect the unique buildings of the Meller Tower Complex.

We would like to remind you that thanks to the support of the SAFMAR Charitable Foundation, a charitable project from ACM Group, and, of course, the initiative of many interested people, the unique stone crypt of the Meller complex, which preserved historical artifacts, was restored last year.
