In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Khambi-Irze (then, Khadis-Yurt) was renamed to Lermontovo, and settled by people from other ethnic groups.[4] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Novoselsky District of Grozny Oblast.
