history
The Kumyk village, known for several hundred years, at least since the end of the 16th century, played a role at the beginning of the 19th century, when the headquarters of the Russian general Alexei Yermolov was temporarily located there in the run-up to and the first period of the Caucasus War from 1817 to 1864 . Around 1830 it lost its military importance to the nearby Temir-Chan-Shura, today's Buinaksk, where a Russian fortress was built. In 1843 the village was in the hands of Imam Shamil's troops for a good month .
In the following years the village remained relatively insignificant for a long time. From 1952 to 1954 it was briefly the administrative seat of the Buinakski rajon. From the 1970s, as a de facto suburb of Buinaksk, its population increased several times.
