History

Early History

The Nazranian society in the second half of the 18th century[5] from mountain Ingush that settled in the lowlands between Assa and Fortanga rivers.[6]

Caucasian War

Nazranians were considered by the Russian administration to be conquered and under their rule, this however, didn't stop Nazranians from sometimes participating on the side of Caucasian Imamate and rebelling. There's various reports of Nazranians being on the side of Imamate,[note 1] for example Nazranians participated in the general uprising of Chechnya in March 1840[9] and the uprising of Sunzha and Nadterechny Chechens, Galgaï and Karabulaks in July 1840.[note 2] In 1858 Nazranians made a large rebellion, known as the Nazran uprising. During the rebellion, the Nazranians sent letter to Imam Shamil in which they asked him for help, but Shamil was failed twice to break through Russian forces and was forced to retreat with big loses. Later the rebellion was suppressed and the leaders were either executed or exiled.[10]

Chronology of major events:

  • March of 1840 – Nazranians together with Karabulaks, Galashians and Chechens participate in the general uprising of Chechnya.[9]
  • July of 1840 – Nazranians participate in the uprising of Sunzha and Nadterechny Chechens, Galgaï and Karabulaks led by naib Akhverdy-Magoma.[note 2]
  • June-July of 1858 – Nazranian uprising: Nazranians rebel against Russia due to the new harsh policies of the tsarist authorities.[10]
  • 1865 – After the end of Caucasian War, the Nazranians were deported to Turkey.[11]

Part of the Russian Empire

After the end of Caucasian War, the Nazranians were part of Ingushskiy Okrug. In 1865 some Nazranians were deported to Turkey. Later on, the Nazranians were part of Vladikavkazsky Okrug, Sunzhensky Otdel and the Nazranovskiy Okrug.

Notes

  1. In 1840, the bailiff of the Ingush and Karabulak peoples, Yesaul Gaytov, reported to the command that "the Nazranians have the intention, upon the opening of spring, to surrender to the side of the rebel Shamil."[7] In March of 1841, the representatives of the Nazranians constantly met up with Shamil, calling on the imam with an army for liberation of Ingush Muslims from the domination of giaurs. The desire of the Nazranians to go over to the side of Imamate was also confirmed by Karabulak and Galashian murids.[8]

    "В настоящем положении дел на левом фланге Линии Малая Чечня в особенности обращает на себя внимание, ибо там, кроме коренных ее жителей, гнездятся теперь все беглые карабулаки, назрановцы, галгаевцы, сунженские и надтеречные чеченцы и по призыву предводителя их Ахверды-Магома, сподвижника Шамиля, собрать могут значительные силы, хорошо вооружённые, вблизи Военно-Грузинской дороги."
