- The name 'Kuyvozi' is of Ingrian origin, derived from terms referring to a 'dry place' or 'dry land' in the local Baltic-Finnish dialect.
- The settlement serves as a historical focal point for the Ingrian Finns, an indigenous Finnic people who traditionally inhabited the Saint Petersburg region.
- The surrounding geography is dominated by post-glacial terrain, resulting in a high density of small kettle lakes and wetlands.
About Kuyvozi
