Tschoch ( Russian Чох ) is a village ( Aul ) in Gunib Raion of the North Caucasian Republic of Dagestan in the Russian Federation . It has 3223 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
The village community of Tschoch also includes the village of Kommuna with a good 700 inhabitants and the almost completely deserted village of Gamsutl , where there is no longer any permanent resident population.
The majority of the inhabitants of Tschoch are Avars .
Culture
In Tschoch there is a post office, a library with several thousand volumes and a cultural center with a reading and cinema hall. Village events, honors, veterans' meetings and school events take place in the cultural center. In Soviet times, films were shown several times a week; however, cinema operations have ceased in 1996 because the cinema apparatus was defective.
architecture
As in many Dagestani halls, the architecture used to be characterized by the flat roofs of the residential buildings, which were covered with pressed earth. Several times a year, special, loamy earth was brought in and rolled with heavy stone drums so that the roof became impermeable to water. Most houses now have tin roofs; the peculiar stone drums are partly used as structural elements in new houses or built into the foundation.
traffic
Tschoch is served by minibuses ( marshrutki in Russian ) from the republic's capital Makhachkala and to Levaschi in the Rajon of the same name. Most of the time, however, the villagers rely on private transport. Tschoch is on the road to Sogratl , where there is a memorial to the Avar poet Rassul Gamsatov .
