Kizhi Island White Night (UNESCO World Heritage Site) @Lake Onega - Russia (qrcode-tanbul.com)
This video was taken on June 28, 2010 during a 10-day Volga-Baltic Waterway River Cruise from Moscow to St.Petersburg with the Nizhny Novgorod river cruise ship, while leaving Kizhi Island (~62° North), a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Lake Onega (second largest lake in Europe after neighboring Lake Ladoga), Karelia, Russian Federation.
It was a real adventure discovering this lonely island of 60-70 inhabitants near the Arctic circle, during a white night, with all the calmness, the friendly seagulls, and the beautiful nature, isolated from the populated rest of the world..
The main sights of the Arkhangelsk Region
The main sights of the Arkhangelsk Region.
How did Russians used to live in northern Russia?
The traditional wooden architecture was recognized at the time as one of the most characteristic features of the Russian North.
In the Arkhangelsk region, you can visit a unique place with unique examples of northern architecture dating back to the 17th century.
Rapid urbanization has led to the disappearance of many villages, so the idea of preserving wooden buildings arose during Soviet times.
At the end of the 1980s, some buildings, churches, chapels, and peasant houses, scattered all over the Arkhangelsk region, were put under state protection; as a result, a kind of open-air museum was organized, where you can see how the northern Russian villages in the distant past.
The goal of the village of Malye Korely is to save the most outstanding wooden monuments.
It's great that the creators of this open-air museum have provided each house with a sign with the name of its former owners, thus immortalizing the names of ordinary people who lived in rural Russia.
Malye Korely is currently divided into four sectors spread over 140 hectares of a rolling forested landscape.
1. The sector of Kargopol and the Onega River (00:56)
Dwelling houses near Kargopolye settlement and Onega River are diverse in architecture. Here can be found, besides traditional log houses, T-shaped houses, L-shaped houses and purse houses , which are associated with the cohabitation in these places of different ethnic groups: Karels, Finns, Veps, Russians, having their own traditions and building culture.
2. The Dvina sector (04:11)
Houses in the Northern Dvina river basin are distinguished by their large size, height, proportionality, and expressiveness of individual details. A characteristic feature of the houses in the Dvina sector is the large roof overhangs over the central gable of the house, the mighty overhang supported by consoles.
3. The Pinega sector (07:36)
The Pinega sector reflects the architecture and life of the people who lived in the Pinega River basin, the largest tributary of the Dvina River. Wooden houses here are placed facing the sun. Here, in contrast to other regions of the Russian North, barns were located behind the village, forming a kind of barn streets or towns. Pinega barns are placed on tall posts to prevent rodents from entering the premises. In the barn, peasants stored the most valuable - grain, festive, and winter clothes. The front wall of the barn has a canopy over the front wall, which serves as a shelter from rain and snow.
4. The Mezen sectors (08:07)
A characteristic feature of the Mezensk settlements is retaining walls because most of them are on high riverbanks. When the snow melts, as well as during intense floods, the clay soil is easily eroded, which can lead to the sliding of the ground. Therefore, in many villages, there is a need for additional reinforcement of river banks.

Дом музей Кронида Гоголева в Сортавале
Дом музей художника резчика по дереву Кронида Гоголева в Сортавале.
Давно планировал посетить этот музей. Так как мои заказчики резьбы по дереву часто сравнивают моё творчество с резьбой этого Художника. Выдался случай заехать после Финляндии, правда уже по разбитым дорогам России в этот уютный музей. Спасибо Сотрудникам Музея и Художнику Крониду Гоголеву за Вдохновение!
Крони́д Алекса́ндрович Го́голев (13 июля 1926, село Прутское, Новгородская губерния - 10 апреля 2013, Сортавала, Республика Карелия) - народный художник Российской Федерации, Лауреат Государственной премии России, Заслуженный работник культуры РСФСР и Карельской АССР
Кронид Гоголев — автор многочисленных живописных полотен, деревянных скульптур, но наибольшие признание и известность принесли ему работы, выполненные рельефной резьбой по дереву.
Как правило, резная композиция выполнялась художником на специально подготовленном липовом щите, в монолитной технике — без применения клееных деталей. Большую работу художник проводил с оттенками дерева, в частности, добиваясь необходимого впечатления для произведений, посвящённых зимнему времени.
Работы Гоголева посвящены русскому северу, русской северной природе, народному быту. Помимо сказочных сюжетов в творчестве художника можно найти работы, посвящённые Сортавале, Петрозаводску, Валааму, нашли отражения и библейские сюжеты (работа — «Тайная Вечеря»), композиции по мотивам эпоса «Калевала»
The house of the museum of the artist woodcarver Kronid Gogolev in Sortavala.
Long planned to visit this museum. Since my woodcarving customers often compare my work with that of this Artist. There was a chance to visit after Finland, though it’s already along Russia's broken roads to this cozy museum. Thanks to the Museum staff and artist Kronid Gogolev for the inspiration!
Kronid Alekandrovich Gogolev (July 13, 1926, village Prutskoe, Novgorod Province - April 10, 2013, Sortavala, Republic of Karelia) - People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Winner of the State Prize of Russia, Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR and Karelian ASSR
Kronid Gogolev - the author of numerous paintings, wooden sculptures, but the greatest recognition and fame brought him work performed in relief wood carving.
As a rule, the carved composition was carried out by the artist on a specially prepared lime shield, in a monolithic technique - without the use of glued parts. The artist did a lot of work with hints of wood, in particular, achieving the necessary impression for works devoted to winter time.
Gogolev's works are devoted to the Russian north, the Russian northern nature, and the people's life. In addition to the fabulous scenes in the artist's work, you can find works dedicated to Sortavala, Petrozavodsk, Valaam, biblical scenes (work - “The Last Supper”), compositions based on the epos “Kalevala”

Suomesta tulevat turistiryhmät matkustavat yleensä Solovetskin saarelle Vienan Kemin kaupungin kautta.

Ouer trip to Russia - in search of the house at the Onega lake in Karelia
Russia? Take small used banknotes, don't drink homemade vodka, and most importantly: don't stop!
We were warned. But it all came differently! None of the persistent stereotypes were proven right. Not even that all Russians drink until collapse! Instead we probably met more friendly, happy and talkative people in these two weeks on our crazy trip through the Russian Karelia than we ever have.

Каргополь | Россия с квадрокоптера
В недавней экспедиции по архангельской области посетил и Каргополь.
Интересно, что не имел никакого представления о городе, заехать решили просто продумывая маршрут на ближайшие дни. Город оказался невероятно красивым, хоть и находится в глубинке

Каргополь с неба и немного с земли
Каргополь — небольшой городок в Архангельской области на берегу реки Онега. Основан он был в 1146 году. Сейчас здесь живет чуть менее 10000 человек. Трудно поверить, что когда-то это был один из крупнейших русских городов.

Kargopol-Pudos-tie. Tien kunto paranee osavaltion rajalla (on paremmassa kunnossa Karjalan puolella mutta huononee taas ennen Pudosta) . Teimme matkaa kahdella tila-autolla koska oma bussimme oli hajonnut n. 40 km. Kargopolin jälkeen keskellä ei-mitään:
