Encyclopedia
Dubki is a village in Pechorsky District
of Pskov Oblast
, Russia
. It is situated on a peninsula
on the shore of Lake Peipsi-Pihkva. Before 1920 it was a part of Pskov Governorate. From 1920 to 1944, it was a part of Petseri County
of Estonia
, but in 1944 it was annexed (along with most of the county's territory) by the RSFSR
.
Presently, Dubki is an exclave. There is no direct land connection with Russia, which, during the Soviet times, was not a problem, as no border control between the republics existed. The unratified 2005 Estonian-Russian border treaty did not change the situation.
