Yandi ( Russian: Янди, Chechen: Янди-КӀотар, [1] Yandi-Khotar) is a rural locality (a selo) in Achkhoy-Martanovsky District, Chechnya.
Municipally, Yandi is incorporated as Yandinskoye rural settlement. It is the administrative center of the municipality and is the only settlement included in it. [2]
Yandi is located on the right bank of the Netkhoy River. It is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) south-east of the town of Achkhoy-Martan and 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-west of the city of Grozny.
The nearest settlements to Yandi are Katyr-Yurt and Valerik in the north-east, Gekhi in the east, Shalazhi in the south-east, and Stary Achkhoy in the west. [3]
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Yandi was renamed to Orekhovo, and settled by people from other ethnic groups. [4] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Novoselsky District of Grozny Oblast.
In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Yandi. [5]
According to the results of the 2010 Census, the majority of residents of Yandi were ethnic Chechens.
