History
The village was founded in 1907 by settlers from Belarus. The settlement of Khamzaevsky was founded on the lands of Prince Khamzayev. It was later renamed Pokrovsky in honor of the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin. After the Chechens returned from exile, they were resettled in this village. Currently, they constitute the absolute majority here.
