History
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Khidi-Khutor was renamed to Gunzi, and settled by people from the neighbouring republic of Dagestan.[5][6]
In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old Chechen name, Khidi-Khutor.[7]
