History


Marzoy-Mokhk is just north of the village of Guni. It was supposedly founded by immigrants from this village, on its pasture lands.
In the 1920s, Marzoy-Mokhk began to grow quickly and became a larger settlement. The village extended along the foothills for 3 to 4 kilometers. Around the same time, two farms, Upper Farm (Chechen: Лакха кӏотар) and Lower Farm (Chechen: Лаха кӏотар) were created. They were mostly settled by immigrants from the villages of Guni, Khazhi-Aul and Cheberloy.
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Marzoy-Mokhk, as well as its two farms, were completely destroyed and abandoned. From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Vedensky District of the Dagestan ASSR.
In 1957, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village's former residents were originally not allowed to resettle in the area, but this ban was eventually lifted and the area was resettled in 1958.
In 1958, an elementary school was built in Marzoy-Mokhk. At the same time, a small library also appeared in the village. A high school was later built in the center of the village.
