From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

60°21′N 29°25′E / 60.350°N 29.417°E / 60.350; 29.417 Pobeda (Russian: Побе́да; Finnish: Kanneljärvi) is a rural locality on Karelian Isthmus, in Vyborgsky District of Leningrad Oblast, served by the station Kanneljärvi of the Saint Petersburg-Vyborg railroad. Until the Winter War and Continuation War, it had been the administrative center of the Kanneljärvi municipality of the Viipuri province of Finnland.

Name

[edit]

Pobeda's name has some possible origins:

  • Побе́да is the Russian word for "victory".
  • It could also mean "a settlement on a hill" based on the sand hill nearby.[1]
  • The Finnish pronunciation of Kanneljärvi sounds like the Swedish skante, meaning "dry, skinny hill".[1]

History

[edit]

For about 480 years, Pobeda belonged to Finland, particularly Äyräpää. After World War I however, Pobeda and surrounding villages were merged into the RSFSR, causing complaints.[1]
