History
In 1861, in the Assinsky Gorge, not far from the village of Muzhichi, the Cossack village of Feldmarshalskaya was founded, but due to the excessively harsh terrain and high mortality of the population from diseases in 1864, it was decided to move the village to approximately where the village of Alkhasty is located now.[5]
In 1917 the village of Feldmarshalskaya was attacked and destroyed.[6]
In 1922 the village of Alkhasty was restored.
In 1944 the village was renamed to Krasnooktyabrskoye.[7]
In 1989 the village was renamed back to Alkhasty.[8]
