It is located in the east of the republic. The area of the district is 1,460 square kilometers (560 sq mi).[citation needed] Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Oktyabrskoye.[1]

History

Report of the Executive Committee of the Ingush Autonomous Oblast for the years 1924-1925 showing the Ingush making up no less than 98,9% of the population of the Prigodorodny District.

One of the oldest centers of settlement of the Ingush on the plane is the Tarskoye Valley, the name of which derives from the villagers of Tärsh in the Armkhi Gorge.[5] According to Georgian geographer Vakhushti Bagrationi, the village Angusht had already existed in the 17th century in the Tarskoye Valley.[6][7] The exonym “Ingush” originated from this village.[8]

As a result of the policy of the government of the Russian Empire in the North Caucasus, aimed at deporting the highlanders from part of the plains and foothill settlements, a strip was created on the lands that previously belonged to the Ingush, which was a line of Cossack villages, the Sunzha Line, dividing the plain from mountainous Ingushetia.[9] In the middle of the 19th century, the Ingush were evicted from a number of villages located on the territory of the present-day Prigorodny district, after which the Cossack stanitsa Tarskaya was built on the site of the village Angusht.[10] The same happened on other Ingush lands: on the site of the village Akhki-Yurt appeared the Sunzhenskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Tauzen-Yurt — the Vorontsovsko-Dashkovskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Akh-Borze — the Assinovskaya stanitsa, on the site of the village Mahmad-Khithe — the Voznesenskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Alkhaste — the Feldmarshalskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Ghazhara-Yurt — the Nesterovskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Ildarkha-Ghala — the Karabulakskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Ebarg-Yurt — the Troitskaya stanitsa; on the site of the village Sholkhi — the Tarskiy khutor, as well as the Sleptsovskaya, Datikhskaya, Mikhailovksya and Galashevskaya stanitsa's.[11]

After decades of hostilities and skirmishes between the Cossack settlers and Ingush, the civil war of the early 20th century, in which the majority of the Ingush took up arms against the White Army during the Russian Revolution, became the main reason that the Cossack population from the above villages had to be deported, after which many of the occupied villages and lands were returned to the Ingush.[12]

Until 1944, the eastern part of the modern Prigorodny District of was part of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. On March 7, 1944, after the deportation of Chechens and Ingush to Kazakhstan and Central Asia, the territory was included in the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. At the same time, the mountainous part of this territory (the southern region of present-day Ingushetia) was transferred to the Georgian SSR. On November 24, 1956, the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU adopted a resolution on the restoration of the national autonomy of the Chechen and Ingush peoples, but the Prigorodny district remained part of North Ossetia.

Unlike the rest of the republic where Ossetians account for the majority of the population, the district has a significant Ingush population. The district in its eastern part is still considered a troublesome zone of the republic due to the high tensions between the Ingush and Ossetians.
