History

Borzoi has a history rooted in the Chechen greyhound, or "barrow," which is reflected in its name. The population of Borzoi is made up of descendants of various Chechen societies, including Tumsoy, Merzhoy, Chinkhoy, Keloy, Shiroy, and Khildehara.

In 1944, the village of Borzoi was renamed Alpiyskoye and settled by people from neighboring Dagestan, following the deportation of the Chechens and Ingush and the abolition of the

Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

. The original name, Borzoi, was restored to the settlement after the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, and the Dagestanis were resettled back to Dagestan.

In the vicinity of Borzoi, there is a military camp of the 291st Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment.
