Islamei belongs to Rajon Baksanski and is located approximately 6 km west of the administrative center of Baksan . The village is the seat and only locality of the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Islamei.
history
The village was first named in 1640 under the current Kabardian name, Islamowo in the Russian form , derived from the first name of the son of a Kabardian prince, Islam Atashukov. From 1732 it was named Naurusowo (Kabardian Naurysei ) after his son Naurus , later also the names of other members of the royal family, Kartula (1773–1787) and Bekmursa (after 1840). During the Caucasus War from 1817 to 1864 , the village was largely abandoned by the Cabardinine ( Circassian ) population from 1825 to the 1840s .
In the 1850s in the area, several new emerged Aule , which in 1867 officially back under the name Naurusowo were united in the russi ed form. After the October Revolution , this was abolished in 1920, as in many other Kabardian places, as a derivation from the name of a noble family and the new name Kysburun 2-j ( Kysburun Wtoroi , "Second Kysburun") was given, in the approximate meaning of "girl's rock", but in Karachay-Balkar , according to a local legend; the south-west adjoining Ataschukino became Kysburun 1-j and the east-lying Dygulybgei Kysburun 3-j, correspondingly "first" and "third Kysburun". Since 1992 the village has had its original name again.
