Petrozavodsk, the capital of Karelia, has an unusual fate. Evidence of this will be found if the webcams of Petrozavodsk are watched online. A decisive influence on the fate of the city was the fact that in Soviet times, due to the large Finnish diaspora, it was transformed into the capital of the Karelian-Finnish Republic. This happened in 1940 and greatly increased his status. Immediately in Petrozavodsk, a university and a theater were founded, and the construction of a luxurious railway station began. True, the republic did not last long. For only 16 years, the city has looked to the future with great ambitions. But the result of this was several urban development projects that now serve as tourist sites.

The Petrozavodsk railway station in Stalin's Empire style (“Empire during the plague” is jokingly called it) turned out to be extremely elegant.

With a turret and high spire, it ranks among the most beautiful buildings of that era. The tower was supposed to be higher, but when the status of the capital was removed, the project was cut. Fortunately, the university survived and did not even close during the war years. When the city was occupied, Finnish teachers taught there for the soldiers of the advancing divisions (archives store unique photographs). Then the power changed again, and Russian speech returned to its walls.
The city was badly damaged during the war, as during the retreat Voroshilov gave the order to blow up many stone buildings. And vice versa, when the Finns left, they mined everything they could. An interesting detail from the history of Petrozavodsk is connected with this. About 15,000 mines were cleared in the city. This was done by the detachments of the Miners, because this mission was entrusted to women. Be that as it may, after the war there was a catastrophic lack of housing, so almost the entire city lived in barracks, and those who remember the troubles of those times are still alive.

The first thing that is recommended to start the review with is the Round Square of Petrozavodsk, it is also Circular or Okruzhnaya, as it was called in the old days.

Round Square is known for its architecture. There are buildings in various styles, from modern to ancient, partially preserved. “Russia is a country of facades,” a well-known local historian quotes the remark of one Frenchman. Everything that does not go to the front side, sometimes remains in desolation. However, the residents of Petrozavodsk can boast of persistent patriotism and continue to seek the restoration of the surviving monuments.
Tourists note the extraordinary cleanliness and order on the streets. What is easy to see if the webcams of Petrozavodsk watch online.
