In 1948-49, the inhabitants of the village were deported from their historical-ethnic lands by a special decision of the Soviet of Ministers of the USSR, and the village was abolished. Now it is a ruined village. After the population was forcibly transferred to Azerbaijan, the tomb was destroyed by the Armenians.
The grave inside the one-door quadrangular dome (height 2.5 m, width 2 m) in the cemetery of Zimi village was that of Karbalai Hasanali Shaloghlu (1779-1854), who was distinguished by his proximity to the divine majesty. The Shaloglu tribe was called that because they tied shawls around their waists and was one of the Tarekama families who migrated from South Azerbaijan. His 25-year-old son Mehdi (his son was born on that day) crossed the Zimi river (1 km away from the village) in the snowy weather at night and went to visit his father's grave and reunited with the divine spirit. When he washed his hands in the river, the water drops that splashed outside froze and he entered through the closed door (the door was closed when they searched for him several times, and when the door was finally unlocked, he was found on the grave, and he was buried next to his father) and enough sayings have spread about his spiritual meeting with his prayer. The people of the surrounding villages would visit this holy place, pray and make sacrifices for the acceptance of their intentions.
The toponym was formed on the basis of the word Zimmi, given by the Arabs to Christians in the 7th century for the part of the population of Arran who did not accept Islam. The Arabs called the local population who accepted Islam Mawla, and those who did not accept Islam Zimmi. It is a simple toponym in structure. The tomb of Hasanali Shaloghlu Karbalai was considered a sacred place for the people of the village and the surrounding region.
