[edit] History
The Republic of Ingushetia came into existence in 1992, having been split from the Chechen–Ingush ASSR. Nazran, the largest of three towns of the new republic, was made a temporary capital; however, it was badly suited for this purpose.
In 1995, President Ruslan Aushev founded Magas just a few kilometers south of Nazran, naming it after the medieval city of Maghas. The new town was supposed to serve purely for administrative needs. The president's palace and the government building were built in rich oriental style, and a business district is under construction. Town status was officially granted to it in 2000.
The town is projected to house about 30,000 inhabitants in the future.[citation needed]
[edit] Administrative and municipal status
Administratively, it is incorporated as the town of republic significance of Magas—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. Municipally, the town of republic significance of Magas is incorporated as Magas Urban Okrug.[1]
