Marzoy-Mokhk is located between the Bulk and Bokh-Dzhaga rivers. It is 22 kilometres (14 mi) north-east of the village of Vedeno.

The nearest settlements to Marzoy-Mokhk are Dzhaglargi in the north, Regita in the north-east, Achereshki in the east, Guni in the south, Benoy and Khadzhi-Yurt in the south-west, Serzhen-Yurt in the west, and Niki-Khita in the north-west.[3]

Marzoy-Mokhk is just north of the village of Guni. It was supposedly founded by immigrants from this village, on its pasture lands.

In the 1920s, Marzoy-Mokhk began to grow quickly and became a larger settlement. The village extended along the foothills for 3 to 4 kilometers. Around the same time, two farms, Upper Farm (Chechen: Лакха кӏотар) and Lower Farm (Chechen: Лаха кӏотар) were created. They were mostly settled by immigrants from the villages of Guni, Khazhi-Aul and Cheberloy.

In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Marzoy-Mokhk, as well as its two farms, were completely destroyed and abandoned.[4] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Vedensky District of the Dagestan ASSR.

In 1957, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village's former residents were originally not allowed to resettle in the area, but this ban was eventually lifted and the area was resettled in 1958.[5]

In 1958, an elementary school was built in Marzoy-Mokhk. At the same time, a small library also appeared in the village. A high school was later built in the center of the village.
