History
In 1944, during the Soviet era, the selo was renamed Ichichali as part of the forced deportation of the Chechen and Ingush populations, and was repopulated with people from neighboring Dagestan.[3]
However, in 1958, after the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the village was returned to its original name of Benoy and the Dagestani residents were resettled back to Dagestan.[4]
