Ekazhevo

Ekazhevo (Ingush: Экажакъонгий-Юрт, romanized: Ekažaqongiy-Yurt[a]) is a rural locality (a selo) in Nazranovsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia.

The earliest archaeological sites found in the vicinity of the village of Ekazhevo date back to the Mousterian era in Ingushetia.

[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).

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.
