Kalanak (Tajik: Қалъанак Qal'anak, Persian: قلعهنَک ) is a village and jamoat in Tajikistan. It is located in Rasht District, one of the Districts of Republican Subordination. The jamoat has a total population of 10,411 (2015).[1] The village is on the northern, right bank of the river Surkhob. On the left bank of the river are the western foothills of the Peter I Range.
During the 1920s the area was a hotbed for the Basmachi, the anti-Soviet resistance in Central Asia.[2] [3]
During the Civil War in Tajikistan from 1992 to 1997, the area was a hotbed for Islamist forces, and October 2010, the Tajik Interior Ministry asserted it had killed three militants nearby at Gharm amid an alleged rise in Islamic militancy in the region.[4] [5]
