History
According to legend, the village of Tsotsi-Yurt was founded by a man named Tsotsa, a member of the Meskroy teip.
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.
During the early 1990s, the village regained its old Chechen name, Tsotsi-Yurt.
