Full name: Ingush Republic
Location: Caucasus.
Status: Constituent republic of the Russian Federation.
Notes: The Ingushi
were one of the Caucasian Muslim peoples brought together in the Mountain ASSR
of 1920. Four years later a separate Ingush region was established, and this in
turn merged with Chechnya in 1924. In 1992 (?) the Ingush separated from the
breakaway Chechen state - a wise move in view of
the subsequent invasion by Russia of the latter.
