geography

Place view

The place is about 160 km as the crow flies south of the republic capital Makhachkala, mainly on the left bank of the Samur River in the eastern part of the Greater Caucasus . It is located almost 20 km from its main ridge, which is almost 3500  m high in this area and marks the state border with Azerbaijan . The Samurkamm, which is somewhat higher there, runs northeast.

Rutul is the administrative center of the Rutulski rajon and the seat of the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Rutulski selsowet, which also includes the villages of Chnjuch (6 km north), Futschuch (8 km northeast), Kitsche (5 km east) and Kufa (5 km north-west) . The village is in fact exclusively inhabited by Rutulians (the ethnonym, the name of the language and the place are foreign names, presumably of Turkish / Azerbaijani origin, which were then adopted into Russian and other languages).

history

The place has been known since at least the 12th century; A Khanqa was mentioned there in 1150 . From the 15th to the 19th century, Rutul was the seat of an independent Rutulian state. In 1839 the area was annexed to the Russian Empire , and Rutul came to the section (uchastok) Lutschek of the Samur- Okrug ( Samurski okrug , located 25 km east of Akhty ), from 1860 part of the Dagestan Oblast . On November 22, 1928, the section was initially converted into a canton under the current name, on June 3, 1929 into a Rajon and the administrative headquarters moved to Rutul.
