Krakolye (Russian: Кракóлье; Votic: Jõgõperä; Finnish: Joenperä; Ingrian: Joenperä) was a rural locality (a village) in Ust-Luzhsky Selsoviet of Kingiseppsky District in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located just south of Ust-Luga and about 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) southwest of the Ust-Luga Harbour. It is now a part of the settlement of Ust-Luga.[1] Population: 110 (2007 est.).[2]
Krakolye was first mentioned in the Joan Blaeu's Livonian Atlas in 1654 as Kargalse.[3] It was one of the two villages where the Votic language was still spoken; the other was Luzhitsy in the Leningrad Oblast.
The village was merged into Ust-Luga effective October 24, 2008.[1]
Votic teacher and linguist Dmitri Tsvetkov (1890–1930) was born in Krakolye.
