Borzoy
Rural locality in the Chechen Republic, Russia
Borzoy (Russian: Борзо́й; Chechen: Борзе, Borze) is a rural locality (a selo) in Shatoysky District of the Chechen Republic, Russia,[1] located on the left bank of the Argun River. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 4,063.[2]
In 1944, after the forced deportation of the Chechen and Ingush populations, Borzoy was renamed Alpiyskoye (Альпийское)[3] and settled by migrants from neighboring Dagestan. When the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was reinstated in 1957, the migrants were moved back to Dagestan and the old name was restored.
