History
editWritten sources from 1585 first mention the city with a previous name, Vlazova. In 1790, it was mentioned as Vlaskova shmyakina; in 1866 as Vlaskova; and in 1882 as Ulaskova, its modern name.[3] On topographical military maps of Russian Empire, which included Livonia (now Estonia), the village is listed as Vlaskova.[4]
The eastern and northeastern part of Ulaskova was previously jurisdiction of the former village, Väjko-Ulaskova.
Prior to independence, Ulaskova belonged to the Koolina nulk in the Setomaa region.
Before the 2017 Administrative reform in Estonia, the village belonged to Meremäe Parish.[5][6]
Etymology
editThe modern name, Ulaskova, comes from the name of Saint Blaise (Vlas) of Sebaste, the patron saint of domestic animals. According to the remark of the Estonian linguist Lembit Vaba, in the toponyms of Setu, which are mostly of Slavic origin, are evident due to the characteristics of Belarusian phonetics, such as the beginning of the name: vl- —› st- (Vlaskova —› Ulaskovo). In Pskov Oblast there is a village Ulaskovo and several villages Vlaskovo; in the north of Russia there is a river Vlaskova.[7]
