Description
City of Military Glory is an honorary title bestowed upon the citizenry of Russian cities, where defenders had displayed courage, steadfastness, and mass heroism in the fight for their Fatherland’s freedom and independence during the Second World War.
Malgobek is a town in the Republic of Ingushetia. In 1934, the village of Voznesenskoye was granted work settlement status. It served then recently discovered oilfields, on the territory of former Ingush villages of Malgobek-Balka and Chechen-Balka. Town status was granted to it in 1939.
During World War II, Malgobek was occupied by the German forces from September 12, 1942 to January 3, 1943, when it was recaptured by the Red Army.
