Yakovlevka (Russian: Яковлевка, Polish: Pełkowo)[1][2] is an abandoned village in Nesterovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, on the border with Poland. It is located in the region of Masuria.[1]
Initially following World War II, in 1945, the village passed to Poland under its historic Polish name Pełkowo,[1][2] however, it was eventually annexed by the Soviet Union and renamed to Yakovlevka.
