Falkhan (Template:Lang-ru, Template:Lang-inh) is a rural locality (a selo) in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia, Russia. It is part of the Lyazhgi rural settlement [ru].

Etymology

According to Akhmed Suleymanov, the name of the village is associated with the Ingush word fala (фала) which means "free".

Geography

Falkhan is located in the Kistin Gorge, on the slope of the spur of the Tseylomsky Ridge, on the right bank of a small mountain stream Mekhinchie south of the villages of Metskhal and Khast-Mokie. There are nearby several pastures and meadows like Tielta, Velkh tsona, Dal-tsonashkie, Mekhanchie and others, sometimes common to all nearby auls. In addition, there are old places of worship like Myat Selash, Ashp Koag, Gerg-Argie, Motskharashkie and others.

History

Together with the villages of Targim, Egikal, Khamkhi and Metskhal, Falkhan is considered one of the historical cradle of the Ingush people. According to ethnographer Bashir Dalgat [ru], all of the villages and settlements (more than 20) of the Fyappin Society originate from Falkhan.

According to the legend, the village was founded by Ferkhast and his three sons. The date of foundation is unknown (about the 12th-13th centuries), although the aul is considered ancient. At the time of its foundation, the territory of the village belonged to the Gamnakan tribe (Template:Lang-inh) which made it hard for others to settle here.

At the beginning of the 19th century, there were 30 households here, but since the middle of the century, the population left the aul in favor of the flat territories, which left 22 families by the end of the century. They moved to Dzheyrkha-Yurt, New Redant, Sholkhi, Galgaï-Yurt, Angusht and Vladikavkaz. Particularly massive migrations occurred in the middle of the 20th century as a result of the Deportation of the Chechens and Ingush. The last residents left Falkhan on February 23, 1944. After returning from Deportation, the natives of the village were denied to settle back in the aul as a result of new policy of Soviet Union.

Among other things, the local residents were engaged in the manufacture of products from horn, clay, bone, wood and archery weapons. Cloth making was developed. Deposits of sulfur and saltpeter were developed, there were ores of copper and sulfur pyrites, brown iron ore, lead and zinc, as well as ocher.
