Galgai-Yurt (Ingush: ГIалгIай-Юрт|Ghalghai-Yurt) was a village (khutor) that was located in modern day Valerik in the Chechen Republic, Russia.[1]
Galgai-Yurt combines the words Ghalghaï, the self-name of the Ingush people, and yurt, which means "village" in Vainakh languages.
During his expedition in the Caucasus Mountains in the 1830s, lieutenant-general Johann Blaramberg mentions Galgai-Yurt as Galga situated on the river Valerik. On 7 November of 1833, Major General of the Russian Imperial Army, Engelgardt A. G. led a punitive expedition to the un-ruly village Galgai-Yurt which ended successfully for the Russian Empire.[2] The village was wiped out in 1833, after another punitive expedition of Russian Empire,[3] led by baron Rozen.[4] In 1847, head of the Achkhoevsky Garrison and lieutenant colonel Preobrazhenskiy led a punitive expedition to Galgai-Yurt to punish the villagers for their un-ruliness which ended as a success for the Russian Empire.[5] The village was mentioned as inhabited in map of Little Chechnya and Vladikavkazsky Okrug in 1848.[1] Galgai-Yurt was also mentioned on the map of Caucasian Imamate dated 27 Muharram 1273 (1856 in Gregorian calendar) as part of Nashkhoy District.[6] In 1859, caucasologist and military-historian Adolf Berge in his principal work Chechenya and Chechens mentioned Galgai-Yurt as well, as part of the village of Valerik. He also mentioned that the Galgai-Yurt existed up until 1846.[7]
