Suikujärvi

Suikujärvi, or Shuyezero, is a Karelian village on the western shore of the lake of the same name. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries it was the centre of the Shuyezero pogost, one of the Lapp pogosts of the northern interior. A seventeenth-century petition named it among the districts whose inhabitants complained of abuses by officials. The village and its parish lay amid forests and waterways between Lake Onega and the White Sea.
