[3] Shosh's name and history is connected to that of Shusha (Shushi), which is located a short distance from the village.

[4][5] During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.

After the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, five Armenian families displaced from Vazgenashen (Gulably) settled in the village, as well as in Ivanyan (Khojaly).

[8][1][9] A monument in honor of the 18th-century Armenian satirist and fabulist Pele Pughi was built in 1976 between Shosh and Mkhitarashen.

As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a secondary school, four shops, and a medical centre.
