Take it to yourself:

The Republic of Ingushetia is the youngest in Russia: it was formed on June 4, 1992. In March 1993, the Declaration “On the State Sovereignty of the Ingush Republic” was adopted. However, the history of the Ingush goes far into the past... as evidenced, for example, by the ancestral towers of the Ingush. The traditions and customs of the Ingush have survived to this day.

On February 27, 1994, the people of Ingushetia adopted the Constitution of the Republic, and also elected the first President of Ingushetia, who became Ruslan Aushev, an officer of the Soviet Army. Aushev, who was supported by most of the population, was against the unification of Chechnya and Ingushetia into one region, but it is difficult to find a person who could accuse him of having unfraternal relations with the Chechen people.

A little later, in the spring of 2002, Murat Zyazikov became the President of Ingushetia. Under him, the average income of the population increased by 2.7 times, and in 2007 the average pension increased by a third. However, during the reign of Zyazikov, the number of robberies, murders and terrorist acts increased.

Yunus-bek Yevkurov is the third president of the Republic of Ingushetia, who became so after the resignation of Zyazikov and still rules the republic.

According to Rosstan data, the population of Ingushetia in 2013 is 442,255 people. People of various nationalities live there: Ingush, Chechens, Russians, Azerbaijanis, etc. One of our users tried to explain who the Ingush are in intelligible language.

Administratively, the Ingush Republic is divided into 5 cities (Magas, Vladikavkaz, Karabulak, Nazran, Malgobek), 65 villages and 5 districts (Prigorodny, Nazran, Sunzhensky, Dzheirakh and Malgobek).

The highest points above sea level are located on Table Mountain - these are the peaks of Ma'tt Loam (2993 m) and Shoan (4451 m).

Capital of Ingushetia

The capital of the Republic of Ingushetia is Magas - the city of the sun. The city of Magas is located 4,000 meters southeast of Nazran (the former capital of Ingushetia) and 500 meters from the border of Ingushetia with Ossetia. Magas is one of the most sparsely populated cities in Russia, as well as the youngest city. Magas was the name of the capital of the ancient Alanian state. An Arab author of the 10th century first mentions the city in his work “Muruj az-zahab” (Golden Origins). The city was founded in 1995 by Ruslan Aushev. On December 26, 2000, Magas became the capital of Ingushetia.
