History
edit16th Century: The Beginning of Diplomatic Relations
editThe first mention of Dygulybgey dates back to the 16th century, during the beginning of diplomatic relations between the Circassians (Circassians) and Russians. At that time, the village was known as Tambiyevo, named after its founder, the Kabardian vuork (nobleman) Dugulubg Tambiev. Tambiyevo was a small settlement with a few dozen households.
19th Century: A Village Named After Its Owner
editIn the middle of the 19th century, Tambiyevo was named after its owner, Lieutenant Zarakush Tambiev. During this time, the village was a thriving community with a population of over a thousand people. However, the population decreased sharply during the Caucasian War due to hostilities, migrations, and subsequent forced muhajirism to the Ottoman Empire.
1865: Land Reform and Enlargement of Villages
editIn 1865, during the Land reform of Kabarda and the program for the enlargement of Kabardian villages, the aul of Berd Tambiev and the aul of Shakmanei were attached to the aul of Zarakusha Tambiev (the then owner of the aul).
1920: Renaming Due to the Presence of Princely and Noble Surnames
editIn 1920, with the final establishment of Soviet power in Kabarda, Tambiyevo, like other Kabardian settlements, was renamed due to the presence of princely and noble surnames in their names. The village received a new name - Kyzburun III.
World War II: Occupation and Liberation
editDuring the Great Patriotic War, in October 1942, the village was occupied by German troops. In January 1943, the village was liberated from the Nazi invaders.
1993: Return to Historical Name
editIn 1993, the village was returned to its historical name Dugulubgey, on behalf of the founder of the village - Dugulubg Tambiev.
2003: Inclusion in the City of Baksan
