For the first time Igra village was mentioned in 1615 in the list from the registers of governors Fedor Andreevich Zvenigorodsky and Vasily Terentievich Zhemchuzhnikov and clerk Mikhail Odintsov.[4] According to the census book in 1678, in the village Igra over the Lozey river there were 43 households, 185 people lived[5].
In 1859, Igra became the center of the Igrinskaya volost of Glazovsky County. According to the tenth revision in 1859 in 19 households of the state village Igrinskaya (Buzhgurt) near the Igra key, there were 111 people living there, there was a rural mahalla[6].
In 1861 the village with the opening of its parish became a village. The following year a wooden church was built in honor of the Apostle John the Theologian, consecrated November 12, 1862. In 1873 a parochial school was opened at the church.
On September 13, 1918, during the Izhevsk-Votkin uprising, after a fierce battle, Igra was captured by Izhevsk rebels and was used as an important stronghold during the ensuing attacks on Zura, where Red Army units were located. On October 1, Igra was surrounded and stormed by units of the Special Vyatka Division of the Red Army.
