History
It was founded in 1929 as Georgiyevskoye and by the resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of August 26, 1929, the name of Mikoyan-Shahar was approved and the town was given the status of a city.[10] From October 5, 1944 to January 1, 1957, when the Karachays were in exile into the Central Asian deserts, by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of November 6, 1943, for alleged collaboration with the Germans, who occupied the town and area from August 1942-January/February 1943, for the Armies and until November 1943, for The Abwehr, Mikoyan-Shahar was renamed Klukhori (Kluchori) and the territory of the former Karachay (Karatschai)Autonomous Region was assigned to the Georgian SSR.[11]
The vicinity is rich in early medieval monuments, such as the ruins of Skhimar (Schimar) and the early 10th-century Shoana Church (Schoenenkirch).
