LIVING Soviet and Pagan Relic: Ruskeala Waterfalls
I got to visit a LIVING relic of both the Soviet and Pagan eras of Russia and Finland: The Ruskeala Waterfalls! The falls have been pilgrimaged to for centuries by both native Karelian groups and by Soviets who fell in love with its rustic scenery after watching the Soviet war film: The Dawns Here Are Quiet.
Then we continue back to Sortevala, the fishing village on Lake Ladoga where we walked around during the Midsommar sunset (at 11pm) through old soviet ruins, mountain-top parks and eventually crashing a celebrating community of Victory Day partiers as we prepare to visit Ruskeala Mountain Park and an ancient pagan city in Part Four of our adventures in Karelia tomorrow!

12:03 I am going to Tsey Song
13:50 Back from Skazskiy glacier
15:10 we go further
From the world of food, TV and 5G.
Rocking and shaking on the chair.
We suddenly found ourselves in a world of ice and peaks
On the glacier, with the magical name Skazsky
And now we're heading to an amazing place, one of the most famous gorges in mountainous Ossetia, Tsey Gorge.
Tsei Gorge begins just behind the village of Buron, located on the Transcaucasian Highway on the right bank of the Ardon River, about 80 kilometers southwest of Vladikavkaz.
STALIN
At the entrance to the high mountain village of Tsey, you'll certainly notice a huge granite boulder, about four meters high, standing right on the edge of the road. , but the fact that on it, on the side facing the beginning of Tsey Gorge, there's a portrait of Joseph Stalin. And on the back of the boulder there's a portrait of the great Ossetian poet and educator Kosta Khetagurov.
I don't know how true it's, but it's said that when Khrushchev came to power, he ordered to throw this boulder into the abyss. But the very next day the villagers, unhappy with Stalin's fall, returned the huge boulder to its place. And even then, it's said, they guarded the stone image for a while with weapons in their hands so that such a thing wouldn't happen again.
And here it must be made clear that this veneration of the Ossetians for Joseph Stalin isn't based on an empty square ... There are good reasons to believe, even if historians still argue on this point, that Stalin himself, through his father, was an Ossetian.
RECOM
Alagir Gorge, which includes Tseyskoye Gorge, is located not only in the center of North Ossetia, but of the entire North Caucasus. This is the only gorge that the Ossetians and their ancestors, the Alans, never left. No matter what happened, no matter what bloody battles the Ossetians participated in, in Alagir Gorge the warlike people survived and were reborn.
In Tsey Gorge there's the oldest Ossetian sanctuary - Rekom, which serves as the main place of worship for the most powerful sky god of the Ossetian pantheon, Dzuar Uastirdzhi.
The name Rekom is originally Ossetian and dates back to ancient times. There are various interpretations, but given the special role of the falcon bird in Ossetian mythology, it can be assumed that Rekom is a cut off from the Ossetian Uarikom which means falcon canyon.
The building itself is a log house built without nails from thick pine logs.
According to the legend, the Recom is God's creation... men weren't involved in any way in the construction of the sanctuary. It was created on the spot where one of God's tears was shed over the fallen nart Batraz.
Rekom is revered as one of the oldest and most important shrines of Ossetia ... On one of the bells of the sanctuary there's preserved an inscription which says: The prayer book of Digoria and Dvaletia, the sanctuary of the whole country of Ossetia.
And here's another visiting card of Tsey - the mount Monk. The mount got its name because of the striking resemblance to the hood - the headdress of monks.
Winter in Tsey Gorge is mild - the air temperature rarely drops below minus ten degrees Celsius, which makes skiing here very pleasant.
Tsey has long been a popular place for ski lovers. Since the 60s of the last century, people have been coming to the gorge in large numbers to ski. The ski season starts in December and ends in April. The altitude difference in the ski resort is 920 meters.

10:10 Heading back to the Hotel
And here we are again on the road ... The last point of the excursion route is Mamison gorge. The hydroelectric power plant Zaramag, a mineral water in Tib and the village of Lisri.
And we have just left the incredibly beautiful Tsey gorge, where the Skazsky glacier is imposing in the realm of rocks, snow and rhododendrons ... You can find the link to the Tsey video in the description.
Zaramag Hydroelectric Power Plant is the largest power plant in North Ossetia and the third largest in the North Caucasus ...
And for me the Zaramag Hydroelectric Power Plant has also a special personal meaning ... As a student of the North Caucasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in 1985, I was directly involved in its construction as part of a construction team. And today I am very proud of it! After all, they built such power and beauty!
Yes, the times of our reckless student youth have long been forgotten, but the photos remain ... the song remains, the lyrics of which I wrote right there - during the construction of the Zaramag hydroelectric power plant
If you want to listen to the whole song, you can find the link in the description.
Tunnel
And now we are driving along the Mamison Gorge, where we pass the tunnel that until recently served as the water intake tunnel of the Zaramagskaya hydroelectric power plant. As you can see, this building is in dire need of renovation! The road is in terrible condition and the old concrete vaults can no longer hold back the groundwater.
But there is also good news! Reconstruction is currently in full swing. The tunnel is being reinforced with a ring of strong rebar. The new vaulted ceiling will be made of modern, reliable materials that do not shy away from water and time. The roadway is also being widened and a modern drainage system is being installed. Soon what you see on the screen now will be just a bad dream!
While the tunnel is being repaired, you will be able to reach the Mamison Gorge by pontoon ferry, which will be placed directly through the water reservoir of the Zaramagskaya hydroelectric power plant.
LISRI
Before heading back, we strolled with great interest through the picturesque ruins of an ancient Ossetian village, Lisri.
Lisri is one of the oldest settlements in North Ossetia. The first buildings of the village were probably built in the fifteenth century.
Originally there were 14 battle towers in the village. Only seven have been handed down to us. And, of course, both the towers and the houses are in great need of restoration.
All the buildings were built of rough stone and without binding mortar. A good master built the walls stone by stone, carefully selecting each stone so that the masonry was perfectly uniform and strong.
The buildings are very close together, which is why Lisri is also called the Labyrinth City.
On the outskirts of the village stands an almost completely destroyed Orthodox church, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, built in 1897.
But the oldest and most mysterious building in Lisri is the sanctuary of Migdau Dzuar. It's the only ziggurat in the North Caucasus - a step-shaped ritual structure. Similar temples are discovered by archeologists during excavations in ancient Mesopotamia. It's completely incomprehensible how and for what purpose it was built in North Ossetia.

Ruskeala Mountain Park | Karelia, Russia
Once we travelled on a sea ferry by Baltic Sea and visited 4 famous Northern capitals. Our journey was started from the Norther Russian Capital - Saint Petersburg.
Forth stop of our ferry was in the fabulous city – Saint Petersburg, which is located in Russia.
Saint Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with 5 million. An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
The Ruskeala Mountain Park is a tourist complex located in the Sortavalsky district of the Republic of Karelia. A former marble quarry filled with groundwater is the basis of the complex, its cultural heritage object, and a historical monument.
During our trip to Ruskeala, we had been visited a several very interesting places.We drove through the historic fortresses, very beautiful waterfalls, and also visited the plant, where traditional local tinctures are producing.
The Mountain Park Ruskeala is very beautiful and interesting. Once it was a large marble quarry, in which marble began to be mined in 1765. The marble, mined in Ruskeala’s quarry, was used in building of significant constructions in St. Petersburg: St. Isaac’s Cathedral, Kazan Cathedral, Hermitage, Marble Palace, Mikhailovsky Castle, as well as in the building of some metro stations.
Today, the mountain park Ruskeala is one of the most significant sights of Karelia. Walking the park, we saw water filled quarries, caves and an old marble factory.
It was a beautiful day in Ruskeala Mountain Park, in the North-West region of Russia – in Karelia.
The visit of Karelia was very interesting and cognitive.
This is the end of our fascinating journey through the northern capitals of the Baltic, during which we had visited Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn.

Karelia is one of the republics of Russia, it is located along the border with Finland and goes up to Barents sea. So far I've been lucky to explore only southern part, but someday I'll go all the way to the North as I'm in love with the nature I saw and definitely want to see more!
Karelia is the land of lakes, berries and pine trees. Most of the territory is untouched nature and so it is great for hiking, camping and fishing.
One of the jewels of southern Karelia is Ruskeala - amazingly beautiful canyon with emerald waters. This place is rich with marble and once this was discovered, local marble was used for decoration of palaces and subway stations in St Petersburg.
Currently it is a tourist attaction, with zip trolleys for extreme fun, boats for rent and some excursions. I took a boat ride and explored marble caves as well.
Later I moved to Ladoga lake and had a nice evening on the shore that later turned into breathetaking purple sunset.

SIBERIA WILDERNESS Vanavara and Tunguska
Why Tunguska Is Russia's Best Adventure
This is a story of an extraordinary adventure deep in the Siberia wilderness. Far away in central Russia there is a place difficult to reach but with an extraordinary history. This place is a center of the biggest explosion in the history of civilization. The closest settlement Vanavara is worth visiting not only because of the Tunguska meteorite but also because of its reach Evenk culture.
I have a passion for cinematic filmmaking and traveling the world
