Meredzhi (village)

[7] It's predominantly made up of wooden buildings[8][9] due to its geographical location—the needed wood is available at nearby forests.

[10] Due to good climate and hydrogeological conditions, the population of the village was primarily engaged in arable farming and cattle breeding but also gardening.

[13] In 1858, Naib of Little Chechnya Said-Dulla by order of Nikolay Yevdokimov made punitive raids on Shagot-Kokh, Dattykh, Azerze, Meredzhi and other villages, where many abreks were hiding.

On March 28 2011, Russian Air Forces carried out airstrikes using a drone on the camp, killing 16 of the militants including a prominent commander—Supyan Abdullayev during the operation.

[10] Although originally assumed that Doku Umarov was among the militants dead, this was disproven as his supposed body wasn't found.
