Troitskaja ( Russian Тро́ицкая ) is a stanitsa in the Republic of Ingushetia in Russia with 16,225 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is located on the northern edge of the Greater Caucasus , a good 20 km as the crow flies northeast of the republic capital Magas on both sides of the Terek tributary Sunscha .

Troitskaya belongs to Sunschensky Rajon and is located about 5 km west of the center of its administrative seat Sunscha and 7 km east of the center of the city of Karabulak . Stanitsa is the seat and only locality of the rural municipality Troitskoje selskoje posselenije.

history

The place was founded in 1845 on the site of an earlier Russian fortification built during the Caucasus War and was subsequently mostly inhabited by Terek Cossacks. It got its name after the local church, from the Russian Troiza for Trinity .

In April 1991 ethnic tensions arose in Stanitsa between Russians ( Cossacks ) and Ingush, with several deaths, which became one of the reasons for the massive emigration of the Russian population from the area in the incipient North Caucasus conflict that culminated in the Chechnya wars. In the course of the 1990s, the population of the place grew to more than four times the number of the late 1980s, mainly due to Ingush refugees from neighboring Chechnya .

traffic

Magas Airport near Troitskaya

The federal highway R217 Kawkas (formerly M29) passes south of Stanitsa and runs from Pavlovskaya in the Krasnodar region along the northern edge of the Caucasus to the Azerbaijani border.

The railway line Beslan  - Grozny  - Gudermes , opened in 1894, runs to the north, but since the Chechen wars it has only been in operation for goods traffic and up to the Slepzowskaya station (near Sunscha), then destroyed and dismantled as far as Grozny. Sleptsovskaya and Karabulakskaya (in Karabulak) are the closest stations.

Immediately northeast of Troitskaya, in the direction of Sunscha, is the Magas airport , which was built in 1992 and is 30 km away by road from the Ingushetian capital.
