Alkun (Russian: Алкун; Ingush: Оалкам, romanized: Oalkam) is a rural locality (a selo) in Sunzhensky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia, located on both banks of the Assa River.[a] It forms the municipality of the rural settlement of Alkun as the only settlement in its composition.[5]
The exact time of the establishment of Alkun can't be established from documents. The area of the village was inhabited by Ingush during the Late Middle Ages and the village can be considered one of the oldest in the plain Ingushetia. Since 1830s, Alkun was marked on Russian maps. In 1860, the population of Alkun was evicted by the Russian authorities and their land was given to the Cossacks, who established their settlements on the site of the former Alkun. In 1873, with the permission of the Russian authorities, the Alkun khutor (later the Lower Alkun) was established by settlers from the Khamkhin society of mountainous Ingushetia, and in 1874 the Serali Opiev's khutor (later Upper Alkun) was established by settlers from the village of Tsecha-Akhki.
With the establishment of Soviet rule, Alkun was part of the Mountainous ASSR from 1921 to 1923, and from 1923 to 1934 part of the Galashkinsky Raion of the Ingush autonomous oblast; from 1934 to 1936 part of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Oblast; from 1936 to 1992 part of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1944 the village's population like the whole Ingush and Chechen population of the Republic was deported to Central Asia and the Republic was dissolved. Upper Alkun was renamed as Dachnoye and Lower Alkun renamed as Lesogorye. After the restoration of the Republic in 1957, the villages were renamed back to their original names, Lower and Upper Alkun. In 1993, Alkun became part of Ingushetia.
Speaking of archaeological discoveries, Alkun has residential towers and a semi-underground crypt; to the north-west of the village is an Alanic catacomb burial ground, which dates to the 8–9th centuries. Near the village of Upper Alkun there are remains of a barrier wall, and there was also a rich military box burial, which dates to the early 15th century.
