The place belonged to Finland until 1944, after which it fell to the Soviet Union as a result of the war . Only the extreme northwest of the municipality remained Finnish and was added to the municipality of Miehikkälä . In 1948 it was briefly renamed Ulyanovka before the place was given its current name on October 1, 1948 in memory of the Soviet Colonel PW Kondratiev (1909-1943).
