Were there Jews in Chechnya?

Of course!

In 1897, the Jewish population in Grozny numbered 1,711 (11% of the total population) and was divided into two groups: "native" Mountain Jews and "Russian" Ashkenazim. Next to the central mosque stood a grand, Moorish-style synagogue.

They partially assimilated into Chechen society by forming a Jewish teip, the Zhugtii. All ethnic minorities had the option of forming a teip in order to properly participate in the developments of Chechen society such as making alliances and gaining representation in the Mekhk Khell, a supreme ethnonational council that is occasionally compared to a parliament.

In 1944, the NKVD deported the entire Chechen populace in Chechnya, and moved other ethnic groups into their homes; the Jews mostly refused to take the homes of deported Chechens while there are some reports of Chechens entrusting their homes to Jews in order to keep them safe.

During the First Chechen War, many Mountain Jews left due to the Russian invasion and bombardment. Despite historically close relations between Jews and Chechens, many also suffered high rate of kidnappings and violence at the hands of armed Chechen gangs who ransomed their freedom to "the international Jewish community".
