Residents of Abu-Gosh have always been elieved to be descendants of Adyg settlers, but it has recently been established that they are actually of Chechen origin.
In 2012 the local council named one of the village's streets after former Chechen president Ahmat Kadyrov, who was killed in 2004. The mosque that is being constructed now will also be named after Kadyrov.
