Formation of archives and archival affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia. From history to the present

The article deals with the establishment of archive-keeping in the Republic of Ingushetia, including the experience of the State Archive of the Republic of Ingushetia – the main repository of historical and cultural documentary heritage and national memory of the Ingush people. The history of archival affairs of the North Caucasus regions, and in particular the Republic of Ingushetia, is practically not investigated. Meanwhile, an issue of archives establishment and the formation of archival funds of the North Caucasus region is the great interest not only for specialists in the field of history and organization of archival affairs, but also for a wide range of researchers. This is due to the fact that the prism of the “destiny” of the archives refracts the history of the region as a whole, including its entry into the state space of the Russian Empire, the formation of national autonomies in Soviet Russia and, finally, development at the present stage in the Russian Federation. All those periods and processes were directly reflected in the documents of the Archival Fund of the region, and, in their turn, had a direct impact on the layout of the archives, which eventually took shape , on their territorial structure and specificity of the information deposited in them. At the same time, each of the subjects of the North Caucasus has its own historical experience in the development of archival affairs that deserves attention. In this regard, in its own unique and remarkable history of archives and archival affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia, presented in this article in a brief (compressed) form, in its close relationship with the history of archival affairs of the North Caucasus and Russia.
