Argun Reserve

The Chechen State Historical, Architectural, and Natural Museum-Reserve is a nature reserve located in the southern part of the Chechen Republic within the Vedeno Nature Reserve, encompassing the entire Itum-Kali and Sharoi districts and parts of the Achkhoy-Martan, Vedeno, and Shatoi districts. It was established on June 2, 1988, by decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. Its area is 233,800 hectares. It's safe to say that the Chechen Nature Reserve is an open-air museum. It encompasses the historical and natural monuments of the Argun Gorge. Among the natural monuments within the Chechen Museum-Reserve, the most notable is the Sheki-Khyekh Cave, home to sulfur springs and a hydrogen sulfide river. The cultural and historical sites include approximately 150 tower complexes from the early and late Middle Ages, religious buildings, military and residential towers, early Muslim burial sites, cyclopean structures, and other historical monuments. Many of the museum-reserve's buildings are in ruins.

As part of their planned work, the staff of the Argun Museum-Reserve organized a field trip to the Achkhoi-Martanovsky district of Chechnya.

The purpose of the trip was to study and familiarize with the cultural heritage sites located in the vast territory of the village of Chokabukh.

This expedition is an important step in the preservation and popularization of the republic's historical heritage. Special attention was paid to the architectural details of historical buildings and their significance.

It should be emphasized that the preservation of historical and cultural heritage is a priority area of work of the State Budgetary Institution “Argun Museum-Reserve”. Such field trips allow for a deeper study and preservation of unique historical and cultural monuments of the Chechen Republic.
