History
In 1927, the Committee for Land Management of Working Jews of Dagestan (prototype of OZET) was created under the Dagestan Central Executive Committee. In the same year, in the Kizlyar canton, the committee created the Larinskoye village council, which consisted of two resettlement villages named after Larin and named after Mykola Shchors. 108 families from among the land-poor Mountain Jews were resettled to the village of Larinskoye. The socio-cultural disorder of the village, as well as the lack of water in it, led to the fact that by the beginning of the 40s the village was abandoned.
