History
The earliest archaeological sites found in the vicinity of the village of Ekazhevo date back to the
Mousterian era in Ingushetia.[12][13] There is also the "Ekazhevsky settlement" related to the
Kuro-Araxes culture (
Bronze Age).[14]
Also, the village of Ekazhevo is included in the zone of one of the largest groups of archaeological sites (including Alanian settlements), where, according to some researchers, the medieval
Magas,[15] the capital of the
Alanian state, which included the territory of modern Ingushetia, could be located.[16]
To date, directly in the village of Ekazhevo, archaeologists have recorded: on the eastern outskirts of the village — "Ekazhevsky settlement No. 1 Achamza-boarz" ("Acham-boarz"); 50 m from the settlement "Achamza-boarz" — "Ekazhevsky settlement No. 2"; 2.5 km northeast of the village — "Ekazhevsky settlement No. 3".[17]
The village of Ekazhevo (
Ingush: Эккажакъонгий-Юрт, Ekažaqongiy-Yurt) is translated literally as "the village of the sons of Ekazh", the first settlers of which were representatives of the Ekazhev family, says Ph.D. Alimbek Kurkiev in the book "On some toponymic names of planar Ingushetia".
From 1944 to 1958, during the period of the
deportation of Chechens and Ingush and the abolition of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the village was called Novo-Ardonskoye[18] (Novoardonskoye, Novy Ardon).[19][20]
At various times, such leaders as
Shamil Basayev and
Said Buryatsky were killed in the village itself and in its environs. The special operation carried out in the village was the subject of a number of extensive articles in the human rights press in Russia and the CIS.[21][22]
