Ingushetia, Republic in North Caucasus region, Russia.
The republic includes mountain ranges reaching 3,000 meters in elevation and lowland steppes at 200 meters along the Sunzha River valley.
The territory became part of the Russian Empire in 1810, forming a separate republic in 1992 after splitting from the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
The Ingush people maintain traditional mountain farming practices, cultivating crops in valleys while managing livestock across high altitude pastures.
The capital city changed from Nazran to Magas in 2002, with the administrative center now located in the geographic middle of the territory.
Ingushetia holds the record for highest life expectancy in Russia at 80.52 years despite economic and social challenges in the region.
