Official name of the federated
state/autonomous territory: Ingushskaya Respublika
Respublika v sostave Rossiyskoy
Federatsii
(Republik im Verband der Russischen Föderation)
Within the former Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic
Chechnya and Ingushiya together constituted an Autonomous Republic
(area: 19.300 km²; population: 1.290.000). In 1991 an
All-National Congress of the Chechen People gradually seized
effective power in the territory, and on 27 October held elections
to the presidency of a Chechen Republic which subsequently declared
its independence from Russia and did not sign the Federation Treaty
on 13 March 1992. As a result the Ingushskaya Respublika was
constituted and given the status of a Republic within the Russian
Federation. Statistical data concerning areas and populations of
the two Republics cannot be given, as the border line between them
is still disputed
Official name of Parliament: The new Ingush Republic has not as yet a Parliament
