Administratively, all the Archi villages belonged to the Archi village soviet, Charodin district, Dagestan ASSR.
The Archi family was strictly endogamous, and marriage between cousins was widespread.
To keep alive their language -- which is the main feature distinguishing the Archi from all other peoples -- the Archi need to develop a conscious, or even subconscious, resistance of the kind felt among Archi schoolchildren in the 1960s.
