Lakhdenpokhya, whose webcams are available on the site in real time, is located in the Northern Ladoga region in Karelia.

Until 1918 it was called Yakimvara. The settlement received its modern name after 1945.
As archeological studies have shown, the first settlements appeared here before our era, around 2000. At the same time, full-fledged settlements began to form in 800-1100 years. Then fortresses appeared on the shore of Lake Ladoga. In 1323 the territory became part of the Russian state. In 1500, the village of Yakkima was formed, in which about 168 families lived. Fleeing from the raids of the Swedes, people fled to monasteries, so at some point only 6 families lived in the village. In 1617 this territory became part of the Kingdom of Sweden. At the same time, almost 100 years later, during the Northern War, these territories were recaptured by the Russian Empire. Although from the 19th century the lands were part of the Grand Duchy of the Finnish Russian Empire.

So, until 1940, Lahdenpohja, whose webcams allow you to enjoy urban landscapes online, was part of Finland.

The woodworking industry was actively developed here, sawmills and pulp mills were built. A full-fledged village appeared due to the opening of the Laatokan Puu company. In 1924, he even received the status of an urban-type settlement. In the 1930s, this place from an industrial village turns into a popular tourist destination. From here ships departed for the Valaam archipelago.
After the Soviet-Finnish war, Lahdenpokhya joined the USSR. It was included in the Karelian-Finnish SSR. Almost the entire Finnish population left this territory. In 1941, Finnish troops captured this part of the country. Scholars claim that Lakhdenpokhya was occupied from 1941 to 1944. During this period, more than 70% of former residents returned to their homes. When the settlement and its surroundings again became part of the USSR, the Finns again left their homes. From 1956 to 1991 Lahdenpokhya was part of the Karelian ASSR. Live webcams show views of the city.
Today it is a small city with a population of up to 7 thousand people. The city-forming enterprise is the Lahdenpokh plywood mill, which was created on the basis of a Finnish enterprise. There is also a timber industry enterprise, a bakery, a lumber station. In 2003, the Aalto distillery appeared here.
