history

The old village lesgische came after connecting the region to the Russian Empire and the formation of the Oblast Dagestan in 1860 for their Samurski okrug (located in 15km west located Akhty ). In the stock of the Dagestani ASSR founded in 1921 , Ussuchschai became the administrative seat of the section Dokus-Para (Dokus-Parinski utschastok), which, however, became part of the newly formed Akhtynski canton (from 1929 Rajon) in 1928. On September 1, 1934, the village came to the newly spun off Lesgisches Nationalrajon Dokuspara (Dokusparinski nazionalny (lesginski) rajon), whose seat was initially in the village of Karakjure , 4 km to the east , but was relocated to Uzuchchai on April 26, 1935. In the late 1930s, the Nationalrajon was converted into an ordinary Rajon and dissolved on September 14, 1960. Since June 24, 1993, Ussukhchai has been the seat of the restored Dokusparinski rajon.
