Gezinchu

Gezinchu (Russian: Гезинчу, Chechen: Гезин-Чу, Gezin-Çu)[1] is a rural locality (a selo) in Vedensky District, Chechnya.

The nearest settlements to Gezinchu are Enikali in the north-west, Khashki-Mokhk in the north-east, Bas-Gordali in the south-east, and Shirdi-Mokhk in the south-west.

In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Gezinchu was renamed, and settled by people from the neighboring republic of Dagestan.

In 1958, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old Chechen name, Gezinchu.
