History
Prior to World War II, between 1921 and 1944, Nautsi was a Finnish village in Petsamo Province. Finnish forces retreated to this location in 1939 during the Winter War.[1] During World War II, Germany sought to capture this area because of the nearby nickel mines.[2]
Nautsi became a part of the Soviet Union in 1945. It was officially abolished on December 13, 1962.[3]
