history

The place was created in 1852 during the Caucasus War due to the policy of the Russian authorities under Prince Mikhail Voronzow as Viceroy of the Caucasus to spatially separate the Christian and Muslim Ossetians . The Muslim inhabitants of the upriver on Urukh River and its tributaries villages Achsau , Fasnal , Galiat , Machtschesk and Stur-Digora and the southeast, Major Major was forced to settle in a new place, the Russian name Wolno-Magometanskoje (about " Free Muslim Village ”), later shortened to Magometanovskoye. A problem as far as the early 20th century, the inadequate agricultural land in the already populated area, in which also mainly to was the Russian Revolution of 1905 were Russian settlers, often better and bigger pieces of land were assigned. From an administrative point of view, the village belonged to the Okrug Vladikavkas of the Terek Oblast from 1860 .

After the Russian Civil War , the place was from 1921 to 1924 in the Ossetian National Circle of the Soviet Mountain Republic , from July 7, 1924 in the newly formed North Ossetian Autonomous Oblast and within this after the division into Rajons to Digorski rajon with seat in the village Christianovskoye , today's city Digora . On April 1, 1934 - at the same time as the renaming of Christianovskoye in Digora  , which was created by the resettlement of Christian Ossetians - Magometanovskaya was first renamed Zkola , later in the Russified form in Tschikola. After the formation of the North Ossetian ASSR on December 5, 1936, in the westernmost part of the republic the Irafski rajon - after the Ossetian name Ир russф or Ӕрӕф , Russified Iraf , of the river Uruch - with its seat in Tschikola was spun off from the Digorski rajon .

During the Second World War , the village was captured by the German Wehrmacht on October 31, 1942 in the final phase of their Edelweiss operation and recaptured by the Red Army on December 31, 1942, a few days after the start of their counter-offensive (in this area on December 24, 1942 , even before the start of the general North Caucasian operation ).
