History
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Achkhoy-Martan was renamed to Novoselskoye, and settled by people from other ethnic groups. From 1944 to 1957, it was the administrative center of the Novoselsky District of Grozny Oblast.
In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Achkhoy-Martan.
The village came to national attention in Russia in 1999 during the second Chechen War when it saw intense fighting and suffered severe destruction. This event is featured in the popular Russian war song "Ты только маме, что я в Чечне, не говори"
