History

[edit]

In the second half of the 18th century (1770s), the German researcher J. A. Güldenstädt indicates Arshty and some other Orstkhoy villages among the total number of Ingush villages and districts proper.[11]

In the winter of 1825, Cossack and Chechen militsiya under the leadership of General Nikolai Grekov [ru] made a punitive expedition to Arshty and devastated it.[12] During the Caucasian War, starting from 1840, the village was the center of the Vilayet Arshtkhoy, an administrative unit of the Caucasian Imamate.

Since 1861, Arshty has been in the Ingushskiy Okrug of the Terek Oblast. In 1859, caucasologist and military-historian Adolf Berge in his principal work Chechenya and Chechens mentioned Arshty among the Galashian villages.[13] As a result of the eviction of the Orstkhoys to Turkey in 1865, including to the village of Arshty, an intensive resettlement of the Malkhists and Maystins began.[14] Since 1924, the village of Arshty, together with neighboring Bamut, was part of Ingush Autonomous Oblast. According to the Soviet Census in 1926, upper Arshty had population of 303, 303 people of Ingush ethnicity. Lower Arshty had population of 550, 546 people of Ingush ethnicity.[15]

In 1944, after the Deportation of Chechens and Ingush and the abolition of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the village of Arshty was renamed Dubravino.[16]

After the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, in 1958 the settlement was returned to its former name - Arshty.

During the First Chechen war on February 22, 1996, the village was shelled by Russian troops by mistake, as the Russian soldiers had a misconception that Chechen rebels were hiding in Arshty. This incident killed ten people, mostly women.[17]
