In 1957, after the Vaynakh people returned from the genocide and deportation of 1944 and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the residents of Sharoysky District were forbidden to resettle in their ancestral homes until many years later. As a result, in 1964, Novy Sharoy was founded for former residents of the village of Sharoy who could not return.[4]
