Oischara ( Russian Ойсхара ; pronunciation Ois-chara ) is a settlement in the Republic of Chechnya ( Russia ) with 9,489 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The settlement is located on the northern edge of the Greater Caucasus , on the slope of the foothills rising to a height of a good 300 m , about 50 km as the crow flies east of the republic capital Grozny .
Oischara belongs to the Gudermes Rajon and is located halfway between its administrative center Gudermes and the border to the neighboring republic of Dagestan , which are both 15 km away. 30 km to the east, already in Dagestan, lies the city of Khassavyurt .
history
The old Chechen village of Oisungur , or Oischar , was given the Russian name Novogrosnenski (about New Grozny settlement , after the republic capital) after the deportation of the Chechens in 1944 . From 1944 to 1951 the place was the administrative center of a raion of the same name, which then became part of the Gudermes district. In 1946, in connection with the oil exploration in the surrounding area, it was given the status of an urban-type settlement . In 1989 one of the old Chechen name variants was restored.
As part of an administrative reform in 2009, Oischara was the only village seat of the rural community Oischarskoje selskoje posselenije, and the place itself was again classified as a rural settlement (possjolok).

Economy and Infrastructure
Oil is extracted around Oischara. The plain north of Oishara, which stretches between and is irrigated by the Terek and Aksai rivers , is one of the centers of rice cultivation in the North Caucasus. Up until the Chechen Wars , viticulture was also practiced on the slopes around the village.
Oischara is located on the M29 trunk road , which runs along the northern edge of the Caucasus towards Azerbaijan . From this a local road branches off to the northern part of the neighboring Kurchaloi district with the large villages of Batschi-Yurt , Zentoroi (birthplace of the Chechen President Kadyrov ) and Alleroi . The railway line from Rostov-on-Don via Gudermes to Makhachkala and on to Azerbaijan runs about 8 km north of Oischara - the Kadi-Yurt station is located there .
