The administrative center of the Sunzhensky region of Ingushetia ( which does not include). A city of republican significance, forming an urban district Sunzha city.

Geography

The city is located in the valley of the Sunzha River, 22 km northeast of Grozny and 47 km west of Grozny (distance by road). The historical core is located on the left (northern) bank, but currently residential buildings are spread out on both sides of the river.

To the north is the treeless Sunzha ridge. From the west, the village of Troitskaya is directly adjacent, to the east is the village of Sernovodskoye, which is part of the Sunzhensky district. 5 km to the south, in the foothills, there is a village.

The Sleptsovskaya railway station of the North Caucasian railway is a dead-end on the line running from the junction station Beslan (). Previously, there was a direct railway line to Grozny, but during the hostilities on the territory in the 1990s, the path between Sleptsovskaya and Grozny was destroyed and dismantled.

There is a federal highway to the south P217"Caucasus". The Magas airport is located on the western outskirts.

History

In the late 1820s - early 1830s, the Ingush were evicted to the plane through the Assinsky gorge, Ingush villages were founded in the lower reaches of the Assa and along the banks of the Sunzha within the current Sunzhensky region of Ingushetia. On the map of 1834, there is a whole network of Ingush settlements in these places. A village was located in the area of ​​the modern city of Sunzha Korey... In the report of the Vladikavkaz commandant Shirokiy dated December 31, 1838, it is designated as Kurei-Yurt... According to this report, the village had 105 households and 585 people. For that time, it was a fairly large settlement. Also, on the "Map of the Left Flank of the Caucasian Line" in 1840, this village is designated as Korey-Yurt.

The founder of the village Kuri-Yurt(Ingush. Kӏuri-Yurt) in the area of ​​the modern city of Sunzha is called Kuri, the son of Ali (Ingush. Iаli Kӏuri), from the village of Leymi, from where he moved to Sunzha in the late 20s or early 30s of the XIX century. The descendants of Kuri Aliyev, according to some sources, now live in the village of Barsuki and bear the surname Kuriyevs. It is claimed that the village of Kuri-Yurt existed until 1845. Later German and British maps from 1855 clearly show that the village Korei was on right (south) bank Sunzha and therefore was not the direct predecessor of the Cossack village founded later.

The page with the title Sunzhenskaya, was founded in October 1845, during the Caucasian War, as part of the Sunzha cordon line. The villages of the Sunzhenskaya line were inhabited by Cossacks from the already existing villages of the Caucasian line, as well as Don Cossacks... In addition to the Donets and Cossacks from other villages of the line (from the territories that are now part of the territory and territories), people from the Voronezh province settled in Sunzhenskaya, Kazan Tatars and Poles who enrolled in the Cossacks.

Sunzhenskaya is located on left (north) bank rivers. Unlike the neighboring village of Troitskaya, founded in the same 1845, Sunzhenskaya received a regular layout. The village administration, a chapel were built, a paramedic appeared, since 1848 - a two-year school.

On December 29, 1851, by the Imperial order of Emperor Nicholas I, the village was renamed to Sleptsovskaya in honor of Major General N.P.Sleptsov, a participant in the Caucasian War, who was previously involved in the construction of the Sunzhenskaya line and, to a certain extent, had the right to be considered the founder of the village of Sunzhenskaya (Sleptsov died in December 1851). By 1858, the village was part of the 1st Sunzhensky regiment of the Caucasian linear Cossack troops, which, being one of the three regiments of the Sunzhenskaya line, united the Cossack villages in the middle reaches of the Sunzha and Assa, with a branch to the side (Karabulakskaya, Troitskaya, Sleptsovskaya, Mikhailovskaya, Assinskaya, Magomed-Yurtovskaya, Terskaya). Since 1860, the village was part of the Terek region.

Initially, the village was built with 250 households. As of 1874, the village had 519 households with 2709 inhabitants, there was an Orthodox church, a post station, a school, 2 tanneries and 1 brick factories, a cold source. mineral water, On September 1, a fair was held in the village. According to some reports, another fair was held on March 17. Sleptsovskie mineral springs, located to the east, in the area of ​​the village of Mikhailovskaya (now the village of Sernovodskoye), were also named after the village.

Article from ESBE (1900):

• Sleptsovskaya - the village of the Tersk region, Sunzhensky department. Inhabitants 4226. Orthodox and Old Believer churches, 3 schools, loan-saving partnership; 5 mills, 6 forges, different workshops - 22, shops - 19. Production of cloth and linen.

In August 1917, there were clashes between the Ingush and the Cossacks of the villages of Karabulak, Troitskaya and Sleptsovskaya... The conflict was caused, in turn, by the clashes between the Ingush and soldiers returning from the fronts of the First World War on July 6-7. Despite the fact that already on September 15, a "truce" was concluded between the parties, these events actually became a prologue to the bloody battles between the Ingush and the inhabitants of the Cossack villages during Civil War in the Caucasus.

Since 1920, the village has been the administrative center of the Sunzha Cossack District (first as part of the Gorsk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, then as part of the North Caucasian Territory). The district was formed on the basis of the previously existing in the Terek region Russian Empire Sunzhensky district, which arose in 1905 (de facto, since 1909 - de jure) after the division of the Cossack-Ingush Sunzhensky department into the Nazran (Ingush) and the Sunzhensky (Cossack) districts proper. The Soviet Sunzha district, like its predecessor, united the Cossack villages in the middle reaches of the Sunzha and Assa, as well as historically associated settlements on the Tersk ridge and in the Terek valley (the villages of Voznesenskaya and Terskaya). The overwhelming majority of the district's population was made up of Russians.

In 1929, the Sunzhensky Cossack District was abolished, the village of Sleptsovskaya became part of the Chechen Autonomous District (since 1934 - the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous District, since 1936 - the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic). In 1939 Sleptsovskaya was renamed into Ordzhonikidzevskaya, in honor of the Soviet statesman Sergo Ordzhonikidze, known as the organizer of the "decossackization" and the forced eviction of Cossacks from a number of villages in the region (in particular, in 1920, with the active participation of Ordzhonikidze, the Cossacks were evicted from the villages in the upper reaches of the Sunzha and its tributaries - on the territory of modern as well as from the villages in the lower reaches of the Sunzha - on the territory of the present).

After the deportation of the Chechens and Ingush in 1944, the village was part of the Grozny region. After the return of the Ingush from the Central Asian exile and the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1957, in Ordzhonikidze, as in other Sunzha villages, the share of the titular population of the republic (Chechens and Ingush) begins to grow, the share of Russians is falling.

Ordzhonikidzevskaya was the regional center of the Sunzhensky region of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. There was an airfield and other facilities of the Stavropol Military Aviation School in the village.

Modernity

After the division of Chechen-Ingushetia in 1992, the border of Ingushetia with Chechnya was laid to the east of Ordzhonikidze. After the start of the First Chechen war in the village, as in other settlements of Ingushetia, camps for internally displaced persons were organized, in which thousands of refugees from and other regions of the neighboring republic lived. During the Second Chechen War, a public organization of Chechen refugees called the Chechen Committee for National Salvation (2001) was even created in the camps for migrants in Ordzhonikidzevskaya.

Since the mid-1990s, the republic has repeatedly raised the issue of raising the status of the village and turning it into an urban settlement (which was primarily due to the large population of Ordzhonikidze, which is atypically large for a rural settlement). So, in 1994, N.D. sector of history of the Ingush Research Institute of the Humanities named after Ch. E. Akhrieva. In August 1995, Karabulak was given the status of a city, then the territory was expanded by including five nearby villages (Altievo, Barsuki, Gamurzievo, Nasyr-Kort, Plievo), but the issue of Ordzhonikidzevskaya was not resolved. In 1995, ND Kodzoev again voiced his proposal for Ordzhonikidzevskaya, but this time it had no consequences.

In 2002, through deputy I.U. Abadiev, the proposal to grant the status of the city of Ordzhonikidze was submitted to the People's Assembly of the Republic of Ingushetia. It was proposed to give the new city a name Kuri-Yurt... Parliament discussed this issue, but did not resolve it. In October 2004, the head of the administration of the Sunzhensky region, A. Zh. Nakastoev, turned to the President of Ingushetia M. M. Zyazikov with a proposal “to unite the villages Ordzhonikidzevskaya, Troitskaya and, and assign the status of a city of republican subordination to the formation, naming it Ordzhonikidze". It was assumed that if the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya was given the status of a city and included in its composition the village of Troitskaya as a municipal district, then it would be a large city with a population of about 100 thousand people (population estimates - as of the 2nd half of the 2000s) ... All of these initiatives have never been implemented.

In the 2000s and 2010s, the Islamist bandit underground operating in the North Caucasus showed its activity in the village. In particular, some objects in Ordzhonikidzevskaya were attacked during the militants' attack on Ingushetia in June 2004. The village was repeatedly attacked by employees law enforcement, terrorist acts were committed, special operations were carried out against militants.

In 2006-2008, in a number of settlements of Ingushetia (the city of Karabulak, villages Ordzhonikidzevskaya, Troitskaya and, the city, the village of Yandare), a series of crimes were committed against Russian-speaking citizens (explosions, arson, shelling and murder). The culmination of this series was the events of summer-autumn 2007, when several high-profile murders, terrorist acts and other crimes were committed against Russians, Koreans, Gypsies, and Armenians. In particular, in June 2006, in Ordzhonikidzevskaya, a deputy was shot dead. the head of the administration of the Sunzhensky region, G.S. Gubina, who oversaw the program for the return of the Russian-speaking population to Ingushetia (later one of the streets of the village was named after her). In July 2007, in Ordzhonikidzevskaya, the family of the Russian teacher L.V.Teryokhina was killed (3 dead), at whose funeral a terrorist attack was organized (13 wounded). This series of crimes attracted significant public attention and led to a new wave of Russian outflows from the republic.

On May 17, 2015, in Ordzhonikidzevskaya, a referendum was held on changing the status of a municipality from a rural settlement to an urban settlement. The total voter turnout to vote was 65.66%. 67.56% of voters voted for endowing the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya, the largest settlement in the Sunzhensky district, with the status of an urban settlement. At the same time, a survey was conducted about the name. According to the press service of the Head of Ingushetia, the absolute majority of the respondents (63.80%) would prefer the name "Sunzha".

On June 5, 2015, a law was signed to endow the village of Ordzhonikidze with the status of an urban-type settlement. On the same day, a law of the Republic of Ingushetia was signed on the transformation of the rural settlement of Ordzhonikidzevskoye into an urban settlement. The election of the head of the new urban settlement took place on a single voting day - September 13, 2015.

February 3, 2016 Prime Minister Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev signed an order to rename the urban-type settlement Ordzhonikidzevskaya into an urban-type settlement Sunzha... In mid-2016, the urban settlement of Ordzhonikidzevskoye was renamed to the urban settlement of Sunzha.

On November 25, 2016, the head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, signed the republican laws "On the transformation of the urban settlement of Sunzha into an urban district" and "On the transformation of the urban-type settlement of Sunzha in the Sunzha district of the Republic of Ingushetia." Earlier in a referendum, 78% of local voters supported the new status. Thus, Sunzha became the fifth city in Ingushetia. On December 12, 2016, the laws came into force, the town of Sunzha received the status of a city, the urban settlement of Sunzha was transformed into an urban district and removed from the Sunzha district.

As of January 1, 2019, in terms of population, the city was in 244th place out of 1115 cities of the Russian Federation.

Economy and social infrastructure

• The Sunzha butter and cheese plant is located in Sunzha.
• Among the educational and cultural institutions in the city are: Ingush State University(some buildings; initially the university was founded in Ordzhonikidzevskaya in 1994, now most of his structural units located in i), National Library of Ingushetia named after J. Kh. Yandieva, Islamic Institute, Republican College of Arts, Fire and Rescue College.

Religion

• Temple in honor of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos.

The first Church of the Intercession, which existed in the village of Sleptsovskaya, was built in 1854 and consecrated on the patronal feast day on October 1 (14). The confessional paintings for the stanitsa Orthodox parish have been compiled since 1846. In 1886, a parish school was opened at the church. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church was closed due to dilapidation, on June 24, 1902, the prayer house was consecrated.

Sources that mention the current Intercession Church usually state that the former temple was destroyed in the 1930s. Since about the 1950s, services have been held in a meetinghouse, which was later rebuilt into a small church. At the same time, on the veneration cross installed in the courtyard of the current church, it is indicated that it was installed on the site of the altar of the Intercession Church, founded in 1912. Perhaps, in this case, we are talking about a meetinghouse, consecrated in 1902 (with an error in the date), or in 1912 this meetinghouse was actually transformed into a church. Another plausible explanation is that in the 1950s the prayer house was set up in the building of a former Old Believer church. After the completion of the construction of the present temple, the former church (prayer house) was dismantled.

The construction of the existing large Intercession Church began, as is usually indicated, in 2004. During construction, it was repeatedly shelled (as it is believed, from the Islamist militants operating in the republic). On June 9, 2012, during the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Republic of Ingushetia, the temple was opened. In the presence of Yu.B. Yevkurov, A.G. Khloponin, S.V. Stepashin, V.G. Zerenkov, Archbishop of Chelyabinsk and Zlatoust Theophanes, Abbot of the Transfiguration Monastery Varlaam (former abbot of the stanitsa church), Archbishop of Vladikavkaz and Makhachkala Zosima performed rite of small consecration of the temple. The great consecration took place on the patronal feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos on October 14, 2012. It was chaired by Archbishop Zosima in the presence of the Head of Ingushetia Y.B. Yevkurov.

The parish of the temple is part of the Makhachkala and Grozny dioceses, which is headed by the former rector of the Intercession Church, Bishop Varlaam (Ponomarev). For some time, the rector of the stanitsa church was also Archpriest Pyotr Sukhonosov, who was kidnapped and killed by the militants.

• New Sinai Monastery.

On March 19, 2014, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church approved the decision to create a New Sinai Monastery on the basis of the bishop's courtyard of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos. The ruling bishop of the Makhachkala and Grozny dioceses, Bishop Varlaam, became the abbot of the monastery. The New Sinai Monastery is the only male monastery within the diocese.
