Argun Reserve

The Argun State Historical-Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve is a reserve located in the southern part of the Chechen Republic on the territory of the Vedeno Reserve and covering the Itum-Kali and Sharoy districts in whole, as well as partially Achkhoy-Martan, Vedeno and Shatoy districts. It was established on June 2, 1988 by the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. The area is 233,800 hectares. We can safely say that the Argun Reserve is an open-air museum. It includes historical and natural monuments of the Argun Gorge. Of the natural monuments on the territory of the Argun Museum-Reserve, the most remarkable is the Sheki-Hyekh cave with sulfur springs, from which a hydrogen sulfide river flows. Of the cultural and historical sites, there are about 150 tower complexes of the early and late Middle Ages, religious buildings, military and residential towers, early Muslim burials, cyclopean structures and other historical monuments. Many objects of the museum-reserve are in ruined condition.

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.
