Geography
Map of Achkhoy-Martanovsky District with Novy Sharoy highlighted
Novy Sharoy is located on the left bank of the Assa River. It is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the town of Achkhoy-Martan and 37 kilometres (23 mi) south-west of the city of Grozny. The village is on the south-western outskirts of the Samashki Forest.
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]
