History
Valkjärvi is a former Finnish municipality which was ceded to the Soviet Union as part of the Moscow Peace Treaty. It is now known as Michurinskoye in the Priozersky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia. The area around the church village today forms the Valkjärvi (Mitšurinskoje) rural municipality with other parts of the former municipality belong to the current Russian municipalities of Mäkrälä (Russian: Razdolje), Petajärvi (Petrovskoje), and Kyyrölä (Krasnoselskoje). In 1648 Valkjärvi became a chapel of Muola parish, and since 1738 it has been an independent parish.
