history

The village in the center of the Tabassaran settlement area, which has been known since the Middle Ages, was the capital of various Tabassaran state structures, which were temporarily de facto independent, temporarily dependent on neighboring principalities or the Persian Empire (in the 15th to 16th centuries). After connecting the region to the Russian Empire in 1813 and the formation of the Oblast Dagestan in 1861 Chutschni came to their Kaitakisch -tabassaranischem Okrug ( Kaitago-Tabassaranski okrug , based in Madschalis ).

In the 1921 founded Dagestani ASSR it became the seat of the Upper Tabassaran section (Verkhne-Tabassaranski utschastok). As part of an administrative reorganization, on November 22, 1928, a large part of the Tabassaran settlement area was combined from several okrugs or sections into a Tabassaran canton, called Rajon from June 3, 1929. Its administrative headquarters were initially in the village of Kujarik, 12 km south-south- east (no longer existing after being abandoned in the 1970s) and from 1931 in Burgankent (11 km south-east), before being relocated to Chuchni in 1935.
