Lost village
Ust-Žerdjanka
Ust-Žerdjanka lay on the east bank of the Narva river where the Žerdjanka flows in, four kilometres downstream from Krivasoo. In 1922 it had 30 households and 137 people, mostly Russians, and it held the Kose parish police station and a community hall. Abandoned after the Second World War, it was partly flooded when the Narva reservoir was built in the 1950s, along with several other villages, an old cemetery and a chapel. The site now lies in Russia's Slantsy district.

Ust-Žerdjanka asus Narva jõe idakaldal Žerdjanka jõe suudmes, Krivasoost neli kilomeetrit allavoolu. 1922. aastal oli külas 30 majapidamist 137 elanikuga, enamasti venelased, ning seal asusid Kose valla politseijaoskond ja rahvamaja. Pärast Teist maailmasõda maha jäetud küla jäi 1950. aastatel Narva veehoidla rajamisel osaliselt vee alla koos mitme teise küla, vana kalmistu ja kabeliga. Paik jääb nüüd Venemaa Slantsõ rajooni.
