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 project “Family,” students from the village of visited the North Ossetian State Academic Theater named after V.V. Tkhapsaev in Vladikavkaz, where, as part of the Pushkin Card program, they watched the famous play Fatima, based on the poem of the same name by the Ossetian classic Kosta Khetagurov.

The play, which tells the story of a dramatic fate and strength of spirit, made a deep impression on the children, allowing them not only to enjoy the powerful acting and direction, but also to take a fresh look at their native literature.

This event was a real celebration of art and a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience the world of theater.

Such events are the practical embodiment of the main goal of the national project—they create all the conditions for the harmonious and comprehensive development of children and young people from different parts of our country, awakening in them a keen interest in art, creativity, and their own cultural heritage.
