Naursky District

Naursky District is a municipal area in northwestern Chechnya, with Naurskaya serving as its administrative center. It comprises multiple rural administrations spread across numerous settlements throughout the region.

Russian and Ukrainian Cossacks settled the area in the second half of the eighteenth century, establishing agricultural communities. These early settlers laid the foundation for the farming traditions that continue to define the region.

The district is home to both Cossack and Chechen communities whose traditions shape daily life in the villages. These groups maintain distinct customs and ways of living that remain visible in local settlements today.

The district is dominated by agricultural activities, with livestock raising in northern areas and vineyards in southern regions. These economic pursuits shape the look and rhythm of the countryside.

The village of Ishcherskaya was home to Cossack leader Yemelyan Pugachev and his family in 1771. This connection to an important figure in Russian history often goes unnoticed by visitors.
