History

The village of Darbankhi was once called Istisu-Khutor.[4]

In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Istisu-Khutor was renamed, and settled by people from the neighbouring republic of Dagestan and other regions.[5] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Gudermessky District of Grozny Oblast.

In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Istisu-Khutor.[6]

In 1977, by a decree of the Presidium of the Armed Forces of the RSFSR, the village at the railway crossing of Braguny, was renamed from Istisu-Khutor and was given its modern name, Darbankhi.
