Oglakhty

Oglakhty is a rural locality (a selo) in the Bogradsky District of the Republic of Khakassia, Russia. It is located on the left bank of the Yenisey River. The population was 259 as of 2010.

The village is primarily an agricultural community. It has a school, a library, and a cultural center. Its name, "Oglakhty," derives from a Khakas word, though the exact meaning is somewhat disputed. Interpretations suggest associations with features of the landscape, potentially relating to stones or specific plants found in the area.

Oglakhty is notable for its proximity to the Oglakhty Archaeological Site, a significant historical and cultural landmark featuring ancient petroglyphs (rock carvings). These petroglyphs provide valuable insights into the beliefs and artistic practices of the people who inhabited the region centuries ago. The site is protected and attracts researchers and tourists interested in the history and culture of Siberia.
