Abstract
On the eve of the centenary of the Chechen Autonomous Region creation on the 12th November, which existed for 12 years, issues related to its formation, development, socio-political processes that occurred found its relevance. The strengthening of Soviet power in the whole country, and, in particular, in the North Caucasus, Chechnya, and other national entities, was associated with certain difficulties, despite the victory in the civil war. Life in Chechen villages proceeded as before, there were no profound changes, especially in mountainous areas, except that the elders were replaced by the conveners of village executive committees, who in Chechen in both cases were called yurt-da/the owner of the village. Sheikhs and mullahs enjoyed absolute authority and not all of them supported the new government. The population had weapons in their hands, which some of them used to resolve contradictions both in relations with their fellow tribesmen and with the authorities. The analysis of the questionnaires compiled by the OGPU on the eve of the disarmament of 1925, when compared with other data, gives a lot of valuable information about the socio-political situation in the regions of the republic.
