Surkhakhi (Ingush: СурхотӀе, romanized: Surkhothe) is a rural locality (a selo) in Nazranovsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia. It forms the municipality of the rural settlement of Surkhakhi as the only settlement in its composition. The village is located on the left bank of the Kench River, 9 km southeast of the regional center - the city of Nazran and 9 km northeast of the city of Magas . The nearest settlements: in the south-west — the city of Magas and the village of Ali-Yurt, in the west — the village of Ekazhevo, in the north-west — the village of Gazi-Yurt, in the north — the village of Yandare, in the north-east — the village of Nesterovskaya, in the east — the village of Alkhasty and in the southeast - the village of Galashki. The village of Surkhakhi was founded in 1836. According to one of the official versions, on the territory, including the village of Surkhakhi, there was the ancient city of Magas — the capital of the medieval polyethnic state of Alania, which also included the territory of modern Ingushetia. In this version, we are talking about the complex of ancient settlements "Yandare - Gazi-Yurt - Ekazhevo - Ali-Yurt - Surkhakhi", which are a single fortified area of early medieval fortresses and many settlements between them. More than 30 settlements, numerous settlements, connecting them with defensive ditches and funerary monuments of the Alanian period were recorded in this area. In July 1919, when Ingushetia was under the rule of Denikin's forces and the people of Surkhakhi left the village, Mandre Nalgiev with his mother remained in the village. Mandre defended Surkhakhi for 9 days, coming out victorious as the Ingush militants came for help and liberated the village.
