Sounds like a busy place. Most likely this is the same Boyary that Stab.I.II./KG 55 flew its missions to Moscow from.
There is no listing for a "Prijamino" or "Priyamino" is the German material on UdSSR Flugplätze. The common practice was to name the airfield after the nearest town or village. If it was close to two towns or villages, both names were sometimes used, one officially and the other unofficially. I could also be that "Priyamino" was an undeveloped satellite or auxiliary strip that belonged to either Dokudovo or Boyary.
