history
Details of the origins of the Chechen village are not known. After the deportation of the Chechen population of the area in 1944, residents of the neighboring Dagestani ASSR were temporarily resettled there, and the village was given the Russian name Rubeschnoye (from rubesch, a word for border ). In 1957 the original name was restored.
