The camera broadcasts a live broadcast overlooking the pedestrian crossing on the street in the city of Lahdenpohya. Lahdenpohya, a small town in Karelia, is the administrative center of the Lahdenpoh district. It is located on the Aura Yoki River (a river named Aura) where it flows into Ladoga.
The hard-to-pronounce name of the city itself translates from Finnish as "the far corner of the bay." There are few attractions here, but they are certainly worth the attention of those who love Karelia and want to learn more about this harsh and beautiful land.
During excavations in the Lahdenpokh district, a large number of artifacts were found to testify to the flourishing of Karelian culture in these places in the 12th and 14th centuries. The first settlements on the coast of Ladoga appeared in 800, the written mention of the area of Lahdenpohya date back to 1323.
Modern Lahdenpohya consists of three parts: Lahdenpohya, Yakkima and Huukkanmaki, historically separate settlements. Since the 18th century, they have repeatedly changed hands between Swedes, Finns and Russians. Finally, the land was relegated to the USSR in 1944 after many years of Finnish rule.
The city of Lahdenpohya became in 1945. The population is only 7.5 thousand people, in the ethnic composition is significantly dominated by Russians, indigenous peoples, korelov and Finns, less than 2%. The city-forming enterprise is the Plywood plant "Bumex", there is a timber industry, a sawmill, a bakery. Tourism is also an item of income for local residents. Since 2014, Lahdenpohya has been included in the list of monocities in Russia with the risk of deterioration of the socio-economic situation.
