History: empty! edit

  • What Cherkess village or town was there before the Russian conquest, if any?
  • When and who called it Elbrussky [Grad, Zelo,...?]?

All we know is that it "was granted the urban-type settlement status in 1938", but it's unsourced.

  • When was it renamed after Soviet political leader Grigoriy Ordzhonikidze, also in 38?
  • Wasn't the name changed back or to something else sometime after 1991 or 2000? How come? Arminden (talk) 14:47, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
