Lost village · 1750

Kropkuva

Kropkova was a tiny Seto village of just two or three farms on the eastern edge of today's Helbi, right up against the present Estonian–Russian border. In the 18th century it belonged to the state and to the Taeluva Orthodox parish, and in 1977 it was merged into Helbi. Its fame comes from one woman: Miku Ode, Jevdokia Kanniste, lived here and was one of the best-known Seto folk singers, a lauluimä or 'song mother' who led the improvised leelo songs. An archaeological site at the village is a protected monument.

Eesti keeles

Kropkova oli tänase Helbi idaservas, praeguse Eesti–Vene piiri ääres asunud tilluke setu küla, kus oli vaid kaks-kolm talu. 18. sajandil kuulus see riigile ja Taeluva kogudusele ning 1977. aastal liideti Helbiga. Kuulsaks tegi küla üks naine: siin elas Miku Ode ehk Jevdokia Kanniste, üks tuntumaid setu lauluemasid, kes juhtis leelolaulu. Külas asub ka kaitsealune arheoloogiamälestis Kropkova koht.
