History

The oldest village of Chechens in the Terco-Sulak Meternrech. It was previously known as Shircha-Evla, Yurt-Evla, and Yurt-Aukh.

Yurt-Aukh, as it was then called, was until 1944 a part of the Aukh District. In 1944, during the deportation of Chechens to Central Asia, the locals were deported and Avars from the neighboring ''selo'' of Almak settled in their place.

In 1956, the Chechens were allowed to return to the Caucasus, but the local authorities prohibited their return directly to their ancestral villages in former Aukh District. Only several years later the Chechens were able to start buying back their houses from the Avars.

On August 27, 2007, a clash between over one hundred Chechens and Avars took place in Kalininaul, resulting in eight people injured.

Mosque of the 20th century

In the old center of the village there is a functioning " Mosque in Yurt-Aukh", built at the beginning of the 20th century, is an architectural monument of Aukha. According to the stories of old-timers of the village, the mosque was built on the site where there was a need for clay, a new one arose due to the fact that the population of the village increased, and the old mosque could no longer accommodate everyone who wanted to, when building the mosque, the villagers hired builders for a certain fee.

Brick blocks were made of large sand stones, which local residents brought from the foot of the mountain Gebek-Kale on carts, the stones were carried one by one by harnessed horses and processed. Lime mortar was used as a solution for binding the blocks-stones, the contents of chicken eggs were added to it, which greatly increased the adhesion of the microparticles of the solution, giving the structure the strength of the monolith of the mosque.

In honor of the villagers who made the most significant contributions, name blocks were made, painted with different patterns and carved with names in the Arabic alphabet. The mosque has two main entrances, above one of which is depicted a horse and a man killing a snake with a sabre, and on the second arch is the Star of David and a drawing of a lion.
