Petrozavodsk is an ancient city in Karelia on the shores of Lake Onega.
Karelia is a historical province of Finland. As a result of the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, Karelia was ceded to the USSR. The evictions and deportations of the inhabitants of Karelia carried out by the USSR, as well as the resettlement of inhabitants from the central regions of Russia to the territory of Karelia, led to the complete destruction of the remnants of the material and spiritual culture of the Karelian ethnos.
In Petrozavodsk, you can also see beautiful old houses in the traditions of the Finnish style and Soviet-era buildings.
In my video you will see how the inhabitants of the Russian city Petrozavodsk live.
