Alagir District

Welcome to the Alagir District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The Alagir District is located on the northern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains in the southern part of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Most of the district is located in the mountainous zone of the republic. It borders the Irafsky, Digorsky, Ardon district, and Prigorodny districts, as well as the Republic of South Ossetia and Georgia. The administrative center is the city of Alagir. The Alagir District is the largest municipal formation in the republic in terms of area. However, its population is only 38,600. Most of the population is concentrated in the administrative center, the city of Alagir. A quarter of the republic's forests are located in the Alagirsky District. The mountainous part of the district is rich in minerals – polymetallic ores, facing and building stones, cement raw materials, concrete and lightweight aggregates, limestone, expanded clay and feldspar raw materials, sand and gravel raw materials. The district also has the Tamis and Biragzan underground freshwater deposits. There are two monasteries in the district: a men's monastery in Verkhniy Fiagdon and a women's monastery in Alagir, as well as three historic settlements: the city of Alagir and the villages of Sadon and Mizur. The district has developed mineral extraction, construction materials production, electrical engineering, transport, logistics, recreational activities, agriculture, electricity generation, and religious tourism.

On September 13, a special event was held for resort guests—a concert at the Zaramag-1 station observation deck. At sunset, the chamber orchestra of the Valery Gergiev Vladikavkaz College of Arts performed here.

The orchestra consists of ten musicians playing instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, and flute. The soloist for the evening will be Rustam Abdulayev, Honored Artist of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and soloist with the opera troupe of the Mariinsky Theater's branch in North Ossetia.

The program included masterpieces of world music from the repertoire of Andrea Bocelli, Consuelo Velázquez, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and others.
