History
Angusht was built no later than the 17th century and the first report of it was made in 1745 by prince Vakhushti of Kartli who mentioned Angusht as a village located on the river Boragnis-tskali (Sunzha). He also noted that the inhabitants of Angusht are Sunni Muslims. There is no exact data about the time of foundation of the village. It is known that Angusht was not originally a single village, but was a territorial society, consisting of several small tribal villages. In 1845, the settlement of the banks along the Sunzha River by the Terek Cossacks began. The foundation of the Tarskaya stanitsa is associated with the emergence of the Sunzha Line. The stanitsa was built on the site of Ingush lands as fixated by Nikolay Zeidlits in 1873, mentioned in his letter to the government published in the scientific journal «News of the Caucasian Department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society» in 1894:
