The village is the birthplace of Sergeant Mansuz Vanakhun (ru) (Russian: Мансуз Ванахун) (1907–1943), who died heroically during World War II and was awarded, posthumously, the honorary title of Hero of Soviet Union. His house is preserved as a museum, and in 2005 his bust was unveiled in the village.[1]
