Lazurnaya Bay

**Lazurnaya Bay** ([Russian](/source/Russian_language): бухта Лазурная) is a bay on the east side of the [Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula](/source/Muravyov-Amursky_Peninsula) in Russia. It lies to the northeast of [Vladivostok](/source/Vladivostok) and to the southwest from the [Three Little Pigs Bay](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Three_Little_Pigs_Bay&action=edit&redlink=1). The Lazurnaya Bay forms part of the [Ussuri Bay](/source/Ussuri_Bay) in the [Sea of Japan](/source/Sea_of_Japan).

The toponym was coined in the 1970s and translates from Russian as "the [Azure](/source/Azure_(color)) Bay". The older, traditional name is **Shamora** ([Russian](/source/Russian_language): Шамора) which supposedly translates from [Chinese](/source/Chinese_language) as "sandy desert". From the 1880s until 1973, it was officially called *Feldhausen Bay* (in honor of [Alexander Feldhausen](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Feldhausen&action=edit&redlink=1) [[ru](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B4%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%BD,_%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80_%D0%A4%D1%91%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87)], the first [Military Governor](/source/Military_Governor) of Vladivostok). The Shamora beach gave its name to a collection of old songs by the Vladivostok band *[Mumiy Troll](/source/Mumiy_Troll)*.
