History[]

The village has a number of holy places associated with the life of Kunta-haji.

In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Khazhi-Yurt (then Khazhi-Aul) was renamed to Pervomayskoye, and settled by people from the neighboring republic of Dagestan.[4] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Vedensky District of the Dagestan ASSR.

After the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village did not regain its former name, and kept the name Pervomaiskoye.[5]

In 2009, the Chechen parliament renamed the village to Khazhi-Yurt, as part of the program "Culture of the Chechen Republic, 2008-2011".[6] The Russian government did not recognize the name change, but the village is known by many today as Khazhi-Yurt.
