history

The Year of Chechen Auls Wedana is unknown; the name is derived from the Chechen word for a flat surface, here in relation to the location on a wide, flat part of the river valley. The place gained importance in the Caucasus War 1817–1864 as the last capital of the North Caucasian Imamate, who existed from 1829, and from 1834 under Imam Shamil . The storming of Vedeno by Russian troops in April 1859 meant the de facto end of the Imamate.

From 1860 the place belonged to the Terek Oblast , initially to its Okrug Grozny, initially with the status of a fortification (ukreplenije), the civil part later as Sloboda . In 1905 Wedeno became the seat of an independent okrug.

After the establishment of Soviet power in the region, Wedeno became the administrative seat of a Rajon named after him, initially part of the Chechen National Circle (Nationalokrugs) of the Soviet Mountain Republic , then from November 30, 1922 the Chechen Autonomous Oblast, from January 15, 1934 the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Region Oblast and finally from December 5, 1936 the Chechen-Ingush ASSR . During the period of deportation of the entire Chechen population from the region and the abolition of Checheno-Ingush autonomy from 1944 to 1957, Ort and Rajon belonged to the Dagestani ASSR .

During the Chechen wars from 1994 onwards, Wedeno, one of the largest villages located relatively far in the mountainous part of the republic, was repeatedly contested. In the First Chechnya War , Vedeno was captured by Russian troops on June 3, 1995, in the Second Chechnya, after two months of loss-making fighting, on January 11, 2000. In August 2001, the separatists attacked the local Russian headquarters , in March 2006 Fighting between OMON forces and separatist units under Shamil Basayev and Doku Umarov in the area - who was born in nearby Dyshne-Vedeno .
