Geography
Tsotsi-Yurt is located on both banks of the Khulkhulau River. It is located 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) north-west of the town of Kurchaloy and 25 kilometres (16 mi) south-east of the city of Grozny.
According to legend, the village of Tsotsi-Yurt was founded by a man named Tsotsa, a member of the Meskroyteip.
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Tsotsi-Yurt was renamed to Oktyabrskoye and settled by people from the neighbouring republic of Dagestan.[2]
During the early 1990s, the village regained its old Chechen name, Tsotsi-Yurt.
