history
The place was created in 1851 during the Caucasus War of 1817 and 1864 as the Cossack Stanitsa Samashkinskaya (after a Chechen toponym ) in the course of the Russian Sunsha defense line. From 1924, after the resettlement of the Cossack population and resettlement with Chechens , the current form of the name is official. Unlike most of the other place names in the region, it was not changed during the deportation of the Chechen population from 1944 to 1957.
During the First Chechen War , on April 7 and 8, 1995, the Russian army carried out an action against Chechen separatists in and around Samashki, where up to 10,000 refugees were also staying, during which more than 100 civilians were killed. The Russian units were under the command of Anatoly Sergeyevich Kulikov .

A cross connection runs through Alkhan-Kala between the two roads, which crosses the Sunscha at the village and continues south of the R217 in the direction of Achchoi-Martan.
