Kantyshevo ( Russian Кантышево , Ingush ТӀой-Юрт / Thoj-Jurt ) is a village (selo) in the Republic of Ingushetia ( Russia ) with 15,706 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The place is on the northern edge of the Greater Caucasus on the right bank of the Kambilejewka, a right tributary of the Terek . Kantyschewo belongs to Rajon Nazran and is located some 10 kilometers west of the administrative center, the city of Nazran , as well as 15 kilometers northwest of the new Ingush capital Magas . Kantyshevo is separated from both cities by a narrow strip of territory of the neighboring republic of North Ossetia-Alania , which extends further north . In North Ossetia-Alania, the city of Beslan is also just under 10 km southwest of Kantyshevo .
history
From the east village Surchachi native Ingush farmers settled in the area of today Kantyschewo in 1812, according to other data already to 1770. The place itself was created in 1858, when the existing single farms and small settlements were combined into a village by the Russian authorities. It was named after the first village chief Ghantysh Thoj ( ГӀантыш ТӀой ), in Ingush after the first name, in Russian after the patronymic of the Russified form of the name, Toi Kantyshevich Dolgijew.
Up until the 1890s there was a two-meter-high grave stone or memorial stone with a Greek inscription not far from the town, which allows it to be dated to the year 1581 and indicates the spread of Christianity in the area at that time. As a result, the stone was considered lost until it was found in a magazine of the History Museum in Moscow in 2008 .
In connection with the deportation of the Ingush and liquidation of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR , the village was given the Ossetian- Russian name Nartovskoye in 1944 and was settled with Ossetians . After the Ingush returned in 1957, the old place name was restored.
On February 16, 2005, Abu Zaid, who comes from Kuwait or Saudi Arabia and has been fighting for the Chechen rebels since 2002 , blew himself up in Kantyshevo after he was surrounded by Russian security forces there. He was considered a direct envoy of Al-Qaeda and was accused of involvement in the Beslan hostage-taking in September 2004.
