The Feappii (Ingush: фаьппий) were an Ingush subgroup (society) that mostly inhabited the mountainous Fappi region of Ingushetia in the Caucasus. Historically, they bordered on the west with Dzherakh, on the east with Khamkhins, on the north with Nazranians, and in the south with Gudomakarians. The center of the society was the fortified village (aul) of Erzi or Metskhal.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, part of the Feappii migrated to Tusheti, Georgia, due to a lack of land. The descendants of the migrants are known as Bats people. In the 17th and 18th centuries, another wave of migration occurred, to the region of Aukh (modern-day Dagestan).

In 1733, due to concerns about the expansion of the Ottoman Turks in the region, the Feappii tried to establish ties with the Kingdom of Kartli. As the Russian Empire began expanding its territories in the Caucasus region in the 19th century, the Caucasian War broke out. During the war, the Feappii Society was devastated after a Russian punitive expedition in 1830.

After the end of the Caucasian War, the Feappii became part of various okrugs of the Terek Oblast, which in turn was part of the Caucasus Viceroyalty. These included the Voeynno-Ossetian okrug, Ingush okrug, Vladikavkazsky Okrug, Sunzhensky Otdel, and the Nazran okrug.

Etymology

Endonyms

The endonym of the Feappii in their native Ingush language is фаьппий (Fäppij in old Ingush Latin writing system).

Foma Gorepekin [ru] translated the ethnonym in Ingush language as "settlers marching in a discordant crowd". Similarly, Rusudan Kharadze and Aleksey Robakidze made a hypothesis that the ethnonym might be connected with the term "alien/new settler" (but not as ethnically different from the main mass of Ingush). According to linguist Yu. Desheriyev [ru], the ethnonym has no etymological explanation. Anatoly Genko [ru] connected the name in the form of Veppiy with the Khazar king Uobos, mentioned in the Georgian Chronicles, thus dating the name back to the 10th century AD.

Exonyms

Historically, the Feappii were known by the exonym of Georgian origin as Kists or Kistins, along with its variants such as Nearby Kists or Nearby Kistins. These terms later appeared in Russian literature. Eventually, the meaning of this ethnonym expanded to cover all Nakh peoples, despite originally referring specifically to the Feappii. The Kist ethnonym was replaced by the term "Metskhalins" in the 19th century, and the Kistin society became known as the "Metskhalin society" respectively, after the chancellery of the society was transferred to Metskhal.

The Ossetians referred to the Feappii as Maqqal (Мæхъхъæл), and the river Armkhi [ru], on which the society was situated, as Maqqaldon (Мæхъхъæлдон), which lent its name to one of the Russian names for Armkhi, Makaldon (Макалдон). The ethnonym Maqqal was infrequently used to denote Feappii on some maps. This ethnonym is linked to the Ingush and Ossetian word for Kite, Maqqal (Маккхал/Мæхъхъæл). According to Anatoly Genko, the Ossetians derived this name from the aul of Erzi and its inhabitants, the Erzians.

History

Early history

One of the mountainous Ingush societies, the Fyappins inhabited the mountainous Fappi region of Ingushetia in the Caucasus. All Fyappin villages and settlements were descended from the inhabitants of a mountainous fortified village (aul), Falkhan. Fyappins bordered on the west with Dzherakh, on the east with Khamkhins, on the north with Nazranians, and in the south with Gudomakarians.

Historically, the Fyappins were known by the exonym of Georgian origin as Kists or Kistins, along with other variants such as Nearby Kists or Nearby Kistins. The region where they resided was referred to as "Kistetia," as well as "Kistia" or "Kistinia". The first recorded mention of Kists dates back to the 7th century, in the work Ashkharhatsuyts, where it appeared in the form Kusts. However, in that context, it was used to generally describe the Ingush people, not specifically the Fyappins.

During the 16th to 17th centuries, a portion of the Fyappins migrated to Tusheti, Georgia, in search of land. Today, the descendants of these Fyappins are known as the Bats people. Another wave of migration of the Fyappins occurred in the 17th to 18th centuries to the region of Aukh (modern-day Dagestan). Today, the descendants of those migrants are known as the Vyappiy and refer to Tyarsh as their ancestral village, as evidenced by their family chronicle (teptar [ru]):

Their fathers left the village of Tyarsh in the Vabo District on a high mountain near the Buruv fortress. Tyarsh is the name of their eldest father.

In 1733, fearing the expansion of the Ottoman Turks, the Fyappins and Dzherakh wrote a letter to Vakhtang VI, declaring their oath of allegiance to Kartli. The letter was signed by 16 representatives from various surnames of the Fyappin and Dzherakh communities.

Contacts with Russia and incorporation into Russia

On January 8, 1811, foremen from 13 Fyappin villages swore allegiance to the Russian Empire through an act of oath. However, it's essential to note that despite these oaths from individual Ingush societies or clans, the nature of Russian-Ingush relations remained largely unchanged. Both sides viewed these oaths as concluding union treaties.

During the Caucasian War, the Fyappins were targeted by Russian expansion efforts. In July 1830, two Russian columns led by Major General Abkhazov embarked on a punitive expedition to mountainous Ingushetia. The Russian forces traversed the Darial and Assa Gorges, encountering fierce resistance, particularly from the inhabitants of Eban. As a result of this expedition, the Fyappins were temporarily subdued by the Russian Empire, and their villages (auls) were devastated. This marked the establishment of district courts and the introduction of a civil system in mountainous Ingushetia for the first time. Following the general uprising of Chechnya in March 1840, during which Chechens aligned with the Caucasian Imamate, Pavel Grabbe reported on March 30, 1840, that the Kists (i.e., Fyappins) were either greatly agitated or openly sided with the Caucasian Imamate.

Whole Greater Chechnya was transferred to him, as well as the Michik and Ichkerin residents and many Aukhites; the Kachkalyks are kept in obedience only by the presence of our detachment. Some of the Karabulak and Ingush villages, all the Galgai and Kists are also in great agitation and are secretly or openly assisting the rebel.

Within the Russian Empire, the Fyappins were part of the Ossetian-Military Okrug (1857–1862), the Ingush okrug (1862–1871), the Vladikavkazsky okrug (1871–1888), the Sunzhensky otdel (1888–1909), and the Nazran okrug (1909–1920).

Modern

During the Russian Civil War, the self-proclaimed state of the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus emerged in the Caucasus region, with Vassan-Girey Dzhabagiev, a Fyappin representative, serving as its finance minister. He was also a prominent figure in Ingushetia, leading the Ingush National Council.

In 1944, the Ingush people (including Fyappins) were deported to Central Asia and were only allowed to return in 1957, after Nikita Khrushchev reversed many of Josif Stalin's policies, including the mentioned deportation. Fyappin representatives like the writer and poet Issa Kodzoev faced repressions by the Soviet regime after writing about Stalin's repressions. In 1989, Kodzoev, along with other Fyappin representatives like Sulambek Mamilov, was part of the committee for the revival of Ingush autonomy within the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union. Today, representatives from the Fyappin society mostly reside across Ingushetia.

Composition

Fyappin society consisted of the following fortified villages (auls), tribal organizations (teips), and surnames (nyaqhash/vyarash):

3. One of the earliest mentions of this toponym is found in the work Description of the Kingdom of Georgia by the 18th-century Georgian eristavi, historian, and geographer Vakhushti Bagrationi. He localized it along the Gorge of the Armkhi river (historical "Kistinka"), situated in mountainous Ingushetia.
4. As noted by Nataliya Volkova [ru], "the resettlement of the Fappians to Tusheti is not chronologically determined." However, if the comparison made by Anatoly Genko [ru] of the Batskiye grebeny mentioned in Russian documents with the Bats people is correct, then the Fyappins were already present in Tusheti by the end of the 16th century. Additionally, Nataliya Volkova mentions various legends of the Bats and Ingush peoples. The Bats legends date the migration of the Fyappins to the times of Abbas the Great of the Safavid Empire. Nataliya Volkova and Leonid Lavrov [ru], in a different work, date the migration no earlier than the 16th century.

The orthography of the teips and nyaqhash/vyarash was mainly based on the work "Onomasticon of Ingushetia", while the information regarding which auls they inhabit/inhabited is mainly based on the information from Zaurbek Malsagov [ru] and Shukri Dakhkilgov.
