History

Unlike the rest of the republic where Ossetians account for the majority of the population, the district has a significant Ingush population.^{[citation needed]} The district in its eastern part is considered a troublesome zone of the republic due to the high tensions between the Ingush and Ossetians. Due to the North Caucasian conflicts it is now Ossetian-majority.^{[citation needed]}

The eastern part of Prigorodny District used to be a part of Ingushetia (which was a part of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR at the time), but it was transferred to North Ossetia in 1944 after Stalin accused the Ingush of collaborating with the Nazis, deported the entire population to Central Asia, and dissolved the autonomy. This led to the present-day tensions, which started after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.^{[citation needed]}
