Benoy (ru|Беной; ce|Бена|Bena) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative centre of Benoyskoye Rural Settlement in Nozhay-Yurtovsky District, in Chechnya, Russia. Population:
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.[1]
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.[2]
