Armkhi (Ingush: МохтIе, Moxthe; Russian: Армхи) is a village in Dzheyrakhsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, located on the Armkhi or Kistinka river (Ingush: Ӏарам-хий, Кисти-хий, Aram-khi, Kisti-khiï; Georgian: ქისტეთისწყალი, Kistetis-tskali; Russian: Армхи, Кистинка). The village is known for its year-round recreation resort. Armkhi is one of six rural localities constituting the Dzheyrakh rural settlement.

History

[edit]
"The river Charekh on which there are 40 villages is called Kistek (Kistinka)" illustrated on General Levashov [ru]'s map in 1733.

The name of the village derives from the river Armkhi, a tributary of the Terek river. Several variations exist with regard to the meaning of the term "Armkhi". One is that the toponym derives from Ingush for "prohibited water/river"; another, that it comes from the Ingush words amr 'lake' and khi 'water'.

The hydronym Kistinka derives from one of the old Ingush ethnonyms — Kisti.[3][4][5][6][7]
In 1745, Vakhushti Bagrationi mentions it as "Kistetian river" as well as "Kist-Durdzukian river".[8]

Doctor of historical sciences and archaeologist Evgeniy Krupnov wrote:

«The ancient habitat of the Kists or Kistins is determined quite accurately. It is the Armkhi gorge — the right tributary of the Terek, 22 km south of the city of Ordzhonikidze, because this river was called in Georgian "Kistetis Tskhali" and "Kistinka" in Russian sources; neighboring Ossetians call it "Makal-don".»

— Е.И. Крупнов, «Средневековая Ингушетия» - М.: Наука, 1971. / с. 29

In 1928 a sanatorium was established adjacent to the village, making it one of the oldest sanatoriums in the North Caucasus.[9] The modern building of the sanatorium was constructed in 1998. Recently a ski resort was built, along with a hotel, pools and a year-round recreation center.[10]
