The camera broadcasts a live broadcast on Bondareva Street in the city of Sortavala. The town of Sortavala is located in the southwestern part of Karelia, occupying the northern coast of Lake Ladoga. Its neighborhoods and streets stretch along the shores of the beautiful Läppäjärvi Bay. The city is separated by two hundred seventy kilometers from Petrozavodsk and only fifty kilometers from the border with the Finns. The origin of the city's name is not clear to scientists, there are several versions, none of which is 100% confirmed.
One of the most interesting versions is associated with the Valaam archipelago close to the town and the monastery located there. The version is rather romantic and suggests that the monks drove out evil spirits from Balaam, and they came to the nearest city. "Sorvatola" in this version means "the power of the devil." A more mundane version says that the name of the city has Finnish roots and is determined by the Ugoro-Finnish dividing participle, since the city is cut into two parts by the bay.
Sortavala, along with Petrozavodsk, is a major tourist and cultural center of Karelia. The city attracts many tourists every day. There are several reasons for this, the main reason is that this is where the road to Valaam begins. Every hour ships with pilgrims and tourists depart from the city's marinas.
