History

Krakolye was first mentioned in the Joan Blaeu's Livonian Atlas in 1654 as Kargalse.[3] The village was mostly notable as being one of the two villages where the Votic language was still spoken (the other one being Luzhitsy, Kingiseppsky District, Leningrad Oblast). The village was merged into Ust-Luga effective October 24, 2008.[1]

Notable people

Votic teacher and linguist Dmitri Tsvetkov (1890–1930) was born in Krakolye.

gollark: You saying that does rather undermine what you were saying a few minutes ago.
gollark: I'm sure *you'd* like to think so.
gollark: But if you can't really understand the underlying evidence yourself, which is *really hard*, and you don't trust the "establishment" for whatever reason, you can't really do much else.
gollark: Okay.
