Nazran district

The Nazran District was established in 1924 as part of the Ingush Autonomous Region. Being part of the North Ossetian ASSR in 1944-1957, it had another name - Kosta-Khetagur. And after the collapse of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR in 1991-1992, it became part of Ingushetia. It received municipal status only in 2009. It is now divided into two parts due to the configuration of the territory. The district is located in the central and western parts of the republic and borders from the north with the Malgobek district, from the east - with the Sunzha, from the south and west - with the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania. About 100,000 people live on the territory of the district, including internally displaced persons from the RNO-Alania numbering 1,336 people, as well as internally displaced persons from the Chechen Republic - only 368 people. On the territory of the district flow rivers Sunzha, Surkhohi and Nazranka. Also an important water body of the area is the Alkhanchurt Canal. In Nazran district there are 30 educational institutions, including secondary, general and primary schools, as well as 1 hospital-stationary for 35 beds and 10 outpatient clinics. The region has developed agriculture: there are 8 state unitary enterprises, two agricultural cooperatives and 268 farms. There are 8,190 hectares of arable land on the balance sheet.

“ACM Group completed research and design work on the Nazran Fortress, a cultural heritage site of federal significance in the city of Nazran in Ingushetia. The documentation has been approved by the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites. The project provides for the restoration of two surviving and recreation of one lost stone tower, as well as comprehensive restoration of the fortress wall with the restoration of its destroyed sections. Structures and volumes of Nazran fortress, built in the first half of the XIX century, seriously damaged during the construction of a modern hospital, as well as due to the root system of numerous trees and shrubs surrounding the fortress outside and inside. Urgent work is required to clear the territory and strengthen the fortress walls.
