Psedakh ^{[lower-alpha 2]} is a rural locality (a selo ) in the Malgobeksky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia. It forms the municipality of the rural settlement of Psedakh as the only settlement in its composition. ^{[10] [11]}

Etymology

Psedakh is a distorted version of the toponym, going back to the Kabardian Psydakhe (Kabardian : псы дахэ) which means "beautiful water/river". ^[12]

History

The village was founded in 1820 ^[5] on the territory of Little Kabardia  [ ru ]. The land was purchased from the Little Kabardian princes Bekovich-Cherkassky  [ ru ] and subsequently, in the 1860s, it was added to the Nazranian society. ^[13]

In 1926, the village was the center of the Achalukovsky District of the Ingush Autonomous Oblast and at the same time the center of the Psedakh village council which in addition to Psedakh, also included farms of Vostochny Sovetsky, Doholber, Zapadny Sovetsky, and Mazaevsky which arose in 1920–1921. In the village itself, there were 344 households (325 peasants and 19 non-peasant), and 1802 people lived (884 males and 918 females). ^[5]

Until 1944, the village was the administrative center of the Psedakhsky District of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR. In 1944, after the Deportation of the Chechens and Ingush and the abolition of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the village of Psedakh was renamed Alanskoe. ^[14] After the restoration of Chechen-Ingush autonomy in 1957, the settlement was returned to its former name – Psedakh.
