Shelkovskaya(Russian: Шелковская; Chechen: Moxne/Мохне) is a rural locality (a stanitsa) and the administrative center of Shelkovskoy District of the Chechen Republic, Russia. Population: 9,581 (2002 Census);[1] 7,961 (1989 Census).[2]
Shelkovskaya was founded on the place where a small Chechen village (Moxne, lit. "place where is wind") previously stood.[citation needed] Half of the former residents of Mohne moved up north along the Terek River, where they started a new village called Buxne (it is now the town of Kizlyar in the Republic of Dagestan).[citation needed] Both villages were later destroyed by the Mongols.[citation needed]
