history
The village, which is located in the immediate catchment area of the city of Ulan-Ude, began to grow as its residential suburb in the 1970s and therefore became the seat of an independent village soviet (selsowet) from Gurulbinski selsowet with its seat in the village 8 km south-west on November 9, 1983 Gurulba of the then Ust-Udenski rajon outsourced. In 1985 the Rajon was dissolved, and the area became part of the Iwolginski rajon, which had existed until 1960 and was now restored. The village began to grow intensively from the 1990s: the number of inhabitants more than doubled between 1989 and 2010.

traffic
Sotnikowo is on the M55 highway , which connects Irkutsk with Chita and is part of the transcontinental road link. The Trans-Siberian Railway runs not far from the right bank of the Selenga, opposite the village - there is also a Sotnikowo stop there, but cannot be reached directly from the village because there is no bridge or other connection over the river, only again in Ulan-Ude, which is why the nearest train station is located there.
