History
History
The Finnish name of the settlement (Hiitola) derives from "Hiisi", the name of a forest spirit in Karelian-Finnish mythology. Before the Winter War it was a municipality of the Viipuri Province of Finland. During World War II, the settlement was captured by forces of VII Corps (Hägglund) on 11 August 1941 and came under Finnish occupation. With the Moscow Armistice of 1944, the town's continued allegiance to the USSR was confirmed.
