During his expedition in the
Caucasus Mountains in the 1830s, lieutenant-general
Johann Blaramberg mentions Galgai-Yurt as
Galga situated on the river
Valerik. On 7 November of 1833, Major General of the
Russian Imperial Army,
Engelgardt A. G. led a punitive expedition to the
un-ruly village Galgai-Yurt which ended successfully for the Russian Empire. The village was wiped out in 1833, after another punitive expedition of Russian Empire, led by baron Rozen. In 1847, head of the Achkhoevsky Garrison and lieutenant colonel Preobrazhenskiy led a punitive expedition to Galgai-Yurt to punish the villagers for their un-ruliness which ended as a success for the Russian Empire. The village was mentioned as inhabited in map of Little Chechnya and
Vladikavkazsky Okrug in 1848. In 1859,
caucasologist and military-historian
Adolf Berge in his principal work
Chechenya and Chechens mentioned Galgai-Yurt as well, as part of the village of
Valerik. He also mentioned that the Galgai-Yurt existed up until 1846. == References ==
