Etymology
Galgaï-Yurt is a composition of two words — Ghalghaï, which is the self-name of Ingush people and Yurt, which means village in Vainakh languages. The word literally translates from Ingush language as village of Ghalghaï.[2]
History
During his expedition in the Caucasus mountains in the 1830's, lieutenant-general Johann Blaramberg mentions Galgaï-Yurt as Galga situated on the river Valerik.[3] In 7 November of 1833, Major General of the Russian Imperial Army, Engelgardt A. G. led an punitive expediton to the un-ruly village Galgaï-Yurt which ended successfully for the Russian Empire.[4] The village was wiped out in 1833, after another punitive expediton of Russian Empire,[5] led by baron Rozen.[6] In 1847, head of the Achkhoevsky Garrison and lieutenant colonel Preobrazhenskiy led an punitive expediton to Galgaï-Yurt to punish the villagers for their un-ruliness which ended as a success for the Russian Empire.[7] The village was mentioned as inhabited in map of Little Chechnya and Vladikavkazsky Okrug in 1848.[1] Galgaï-Yurt was also mentioned on the map of Caucasian Imamate dated 27 Muharram 1273 (1856 in Gregorian calendar) as part of Nashkhoy District.[8] In 1859, caucasologist and military-historian Adolf Berge in his principal work Chechenya and Chechens mentioned Galgaï-Yurt as well, as part of the village of Valerik. He also mentioned that the Galgaï-Yurt existed up until 1846.[9][10]
