Lost village
Krivasoo küla
Krivasoo, or Kriusha, stood on the east bank of the Narva river, in land that belonged to Estonia until 1945 and now lies in Russia's Leningrad region. In 1902 a water gauge was set up here for a planned Pskov–Tartu–Narva waterway. From November to December 1919 the village gave its name to one of the hardest battles of the War of Independence, and in 1944 the 'Krivasoo pocket' formed here beside the Tannenberg line. In autumn 1955 the Narva reservoir was filled, drowning the gauge post, and Krivasoo's people, like those of several neighbouring villages, were moved away.

Eesti keeles
Krivasoo ehk Kriuša asus Narva jõe idakaldal alal, mis kuulus Eestile 1945. aastani ja jääb nüüd Venemaa Leningradi oblastisse. 1902. aastal rajati siia veemõõdupost kavandatava Pihkva–Tartu–Narva laevatee jaoks. 1919. aasta novembrist detsembrini peeti küla ümbruses üks Vabadussõja raskemaid lahinguid ning 1944. aastal kujunes siia Tannenbergi liini kõrvale Krivasoo kott. 1955. aasta sügisel paisutati üles Narva veehoidla, vee alla jäi ka veemõõdupost ning Krivasoo elanikud, nagu mitme naaberküla omadki, asustati ümber.
