Benoy (Russian: Беной; Chechen: Бена, romanized: Bena) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative centre of Benoyskoye Rural Settlement in Nozhay-Yurtovsky District, in Chechnya, Russia. Population: 1,216 (2010 Census);[1] 2,389 (2002 Census).[2]
In 1944, during the Soviet era, the selo was renamed Ichichali as part of the forced deportation of the Chechen and Ingush populations, and was repopulated with people from neighboring Dagestan.[3]
However, in 1958, after the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the village was returned to its original name of Benoy and the Dagestani residents were resettled back to Dagestan.[4]
