Sanzhi is an abolished village in the Dakhadayevsky District of the Republic of Dagestan. It was part of the Itsarinsky Village Council. It was abolished in the early 1970s, and the majority of its population moved to the village of Druzhba.

Geography

It was located on the left bank of the Ulluchai River, 2.5 km southeast of the village of Itsari.

History

Since 1860, it was part of the Ashtikulinskoye Naibstvo of the Kazikumukhsky district.

Until 1925, the village was part of the Kazikumukhskiy okrug.

According to data from 1926, the Sanzhi farmstead consisted of 22 farms and was part of the Ashtyn village council of the Dakhadaevsky district.[1]

In 1944, the village's residents were resettled to the territory of the former Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the village was liquidated. In 1958, after the Chechens returned from deportation, the former village residents returned, and the settlement was re-established, but this time as part of the Itsari village council.[2]

Until its final dissolution, the village served as a branch of the Itsari village Komsomol collective farm.

In 1969, a planned resettlement of the village's residents to the plains to the village of Druzhba began. By the early 1970s, the residents had dispersed, and the settlement was abolished.
