It is located in the south-west of the region , 4 km from the coast of the Warm Lake of the Pskov-Peipsi Pond , 4 km south-west of the Volost center of Samolva . The village of Lug bordered from the south with the village of Vlasova Griva (nowadays does not exist), from the east with the villages of Kazakovets (now does not exist), Kamenka (now does not exist).
The first documentary evidence of the village of Lug dates back to 1832. The village of Lug was first marked on the maps of the St. Petersburg province of that time. Another old name for this village is Chukhny.
The village of Lug was administratively a part of the Remdov parish (until 2005) in the Gdovsk district (county). Since 08/01/1927 the village of Lug of the Remdovsky Uyezd administratively passed to the Seredkinskiy district. From 01/14/1958 Seredkinsk district was abolished and the village of Lug moved to the Gdovsk district to the present. Before the Second World War 1941-1945 in the village, there were up to 100 yards. At present, only 14 buildings and their remnants of the past and the last century have survived. From the 1920s until the end of the 1940s, the village of Lug was part of the Red Meadow collective farm. Subsequently, the village was part of the collective farm named after Alexander Nevsky.
About the beginning of World War II in the village of Lug learned on the radio. The swift offensive of the Nazi troops, the abandonment of Pskov, an unsuccessful attempt to detain them by Soviet troops in the Gdov area led to the fact that the village ended up in occupied territory without any information about what was happening. Residents learned about the occupation only from the appearance of Nazi soldiers. Estonians began to side with the invaders, joined the police and extradited political workers, teachers and family members of the Red Army. The executions of civilians began. This continued until the liberation of the village of Lug by parts of the Red Army in 1944. In the journal of operations 90 SD there is the following entry: "By 9 o'clock in the morning of 02/14/1944 173sp 90sd captured the villages of Lug, Kamenka, Vlasova Griva with battle." Together with the retreating Nazi forces, the Estonians fled, participating in aiding the fascists. The rest of the Estonians left the village in the post-war period in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Many houses, people were destroyed during the war and the village has never become so numerous. Remains of stone foundations overgrown with forest remind of former buildings. Not far from the village there is an old abandoned Estonian cemetery, which in Soviet times and after the collapse of the USSR was visited by relatives of the people buried there. The last burial in this cemetery dates back to the 60s of the twentieth century. Now this cemetery is overgrown with forests, bushes and without a guide from the locals it can not be found.
In Soviet times, the life and life of people was no different. Actively conducted agriculture. The once prosperous region fell into decline and oblivion mainly in the 90s of the XX century and the early years of the XXI century.
Currently, all fields are neglected, trees and shrubs have grown. Many animals divorced such as bears, wild boars, moose, foxes, etc. Extraordinarily numerous beavers divorced. They build dams, dams on all kinds of rivers, streams. As a result, there is a flooding of the forest, the transformation of lowlands in the forest into swamps, a decrease in the water level in the Rovya River. Regulation of the number of animals is impossible, because it is a conservation zone, as well as a border zone between Russia and Estonia.
Population
The main population of the village of Lug at all times until 1944 was Estonians, families of Russians and other nationalities lived. The village of Lug had its own church (it was destroyed during the Second World War in 1944). Most of the inhabitants were Catholics by religion and the village did not belong to the Orthodox parish of the church in honor of Archangel Michael located in the Mare Hillfort. Already after the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. the village became Orthodox and belongs to the Orthodox parish. After liberation from the Nazi invaders, the village was reborn, but not to the previous level of population. Some residents moved to other villages. During the years of the Second World War 1941-45, in the post-war period there was an outflow of the population for various reasons, as well as a natural population decline.
The population of the village in 2000 was 27 people [1] . The population in July 2015 is 13 people living in the village permanently. These are the indigenous inhabitants of the village. Of these, 5 people are old people from 65 years old and older, a family of 5 people aged 15 to 45 years, a family of 2 people over 65 years old and a single-living man over 55 years old. In the summer, on weekends and holidays, "summer residents" come to the village, mainly children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren of the people who lived here, and then the village grows to 25-30 people, but no more.
At all times, residents were mainly engaged in fishing, picking berries and mushrooms. Livestock was raised. We conducted a subsidiary farm.
Currently, the population is mainly engaged in the collection of berries (cloudberries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries), mushrooms and their delivery to the harvesting points.
