The authorities of Karelia combine development industrial production and construction of resorts. Yesterday, Governor of Karelia Sergei Katanandov told reporters about the achievements of the republic over the 10 years of his rule. The meeting took place just before the anniversary of his governorship.

The governor of Karelia called his main achievements the fact that during this time he managed to implement the plan for the electrification of railways. Now all Oktyabrskaya Railway provided with electric traction. The second achievement is the development of the Shtokman natural gas field. It is expected that by 2015, the development of this project will make it possible to lay a main gas pipeline with a length of almost 700 kilometers, through which about 2.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year will be delivered to republican consumers.

Also, in the near future, industrial development of ore deposits, including gold, diamonds and platinum, will begin in Karelia. We are talking about several deposits in the Pudozhsky district on the border of Karelia with the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions. It is planned to create the so-called “Pudozh megaproject” here. It is planned to build three mining and processing plants, a metallurgical plant and a plant, as well as a railway.

The estimated cost of the large-scale project, as Katanandov noted, is 100-120 billion rubles. But the implementation of these plans has its own difficulties, so the governor is asking for state support. Indeed, until recently, it was pointless to talk about the development of these deposits at all. It was impossible to even get here. And only thanks to the federal program for road construction in Karelia, the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions, the so-called “northern corridor” was built, and now it is possible to bring equipment to these deposits. “We have found partners, we already have plans, there are large investors. I think that this year we will reach an agreement on the development of these fields,” said Sergei Katanandov.

At the same time, despite grandiose plans for industrial development, Karelia is going to develop resorts. For example, a project is currently being developed to create an international-level resort, Spasskaya Guba. Land for development has already been transferred, which is about 3 thousand hectares. They plan to build high-tech ski and bike trails here. As well as all the necessary infrastructure that will allow carrying out on Spasskaya Guba international competitions. Construction will begin next year.

This object combined with two national parks- Kizhimi and Valaam - will allow Karelia to take its rightful place in the field active tourism. By the way, the governor himself prefers to relax in these places. But most of all he loves the White Sea. According to him, this is a unique place for observing animals. That is why it is planned to create a special diving center here. Moreover, Western tourists are also interested in this project.

But “the land of forests, fields and rivers” is, according to the governor, an already outdated idea of ​​Karelia. She must be the edge modern people. Therefore, now, within the framework of national projects in Karelia, education is being put on a new track. Now, together with Finnish colleagues, various technology parks are opening. Nanotechnology development is planned. And all this is done on the basis of Petrozavodsk University.

Within the framework of the national project "Health" in Karelia, special attention was paid to the creation of a modern cardiocenter. And it's already working. The first five operations were performed there by doctors from the Military Medical Academy of St. Petersburg, where Karelian doctors are trained. In the first year of operation, it is planned to perform 70 heart surgeries. And although each of them costs about 10 thousand euros, they will be free for patients from Karelia, the governor said.

When asked whether Sergei Katanandov would agree to work in Moscow, the governor replied that he would not. “I know Karelia well, its problems and the problems of the northern territories in general. I have experience of my own mistakes, but I also have plans for the further development of Karelia,” the governor said.

In the north-west of Russia, near the White Sea, is the Republic of Karelia. The capital is the city of Petrozavodsk. The climate of Karelia is mild, with high rainfall. Winters are snowy and short summer period can be quite warm. The fauna of the republic was formed after the Ice Age; of the 63 species of mammals, many are listed in the Red Book.

The Ruskeala Mountain Park is considered a monument of industrial culture of the 17th – early 20th centuries, which is also an amazing natural attraction of the Republic of Karelia. After the cessation of marble mining, the Ruskeala quarries became mountain lakes with clear bluish-green water, and abandoned mines turned into caves and beautiful grottoes. Blocks from the Marble Canyon were used to clad historical buildings in St. Petersburg, such as St. Isaac's Cathedral, as well as the Ladozhskaya and Primorskaya metro stations.

3. Ruskeala waterfalls

The Tokhmajoki River is one of the largest rivers in the Ladoga region. The yellowish color of its water is due to the high content of iron salts in it. Because of this, local residents call the river Ruskolka. "Ruskea" translated from Karelian means "red-haired". There are four waterfalls in total, they are located near the village of Ruskeala. The waterfalls are flat, so their height is 3-4 meters. You can see them while driving past on the road. There is an observation deck nearby. The feature film “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” took place here, and later many episodes of the fantasy film “The Dark World” were filmed at the waterfalls. During the Tahmajoki flood, lovers of rafting on catamarans and kayaks come from afar. And although at this time the current is especially strong and the descent is dangerous, there are more and more tourists.

He actively resisted the church reform of Patriarch Nikon, and then began to belong to the official church. For many years the monastery was a major defensive center. Thick fortress walls held back multiple sieges by enemy troops. In 1920 the monastery was closed, and from 1923 to 1939. the Solovetsky special purpose camp was located there. There are no exact data on the number of deaths. During World War II, a school for cabin boys was located on the islands.

The height of the total fall of the waterfall is about 10 meters with a length of 170 m. The waterfall is divided by a rock into two streams. Main thread (with right side) goes down along four ledges at once, while the secondary one (on the left side) is divided into several separate jets, gradually entering the main flow. Due to the construction of the Girvas dam, the waterfall has seriously lost its power, since water flows into it from only a 30-kilometer section. Despite this, Kivach is considered one of the most famous and accessible waterfalls in Karelia, which still remains very beautiful.
