THE ROLE OF THE INGUSH NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE FORMATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INGUSHETIA

Abstract

The paper focuses on the causes, characteristics and place of the Ingush national movement as a whole and its individual members in particular for the formation of the modern Republic of Ingushetia in the context of the events that took place in the country in the second half of the 1980s – early 1990s covered. The topic of the Ingush national movement was addressed in the works of many Ingush authors. However, those works either mention the movement in the context of the events that occurred in the Republic in the late 1980s – early 1990s XX century or refer to the role of individual members of the national movement. In contrast, this paper considers the Ingush national movement as a factor that changed the people’s future.
