(Translated by Google) quite a long granite embankment, which we visited after rafting on the Shuya. A magnificent view of Lake Onega, the metal monument to the Fishermen was memorable. From here we left for the train station, returning to Moscow. Even after 18 years - vivid memories. (Original) довольно длинная гранитная набережная, которую мы посетили после сплава по Шуе. Великолепный вид на Онежское озеро, запомнился металлический памятник Рыбакам. Отсюда уезжали на вокзал, возвращаясь в Москву. Даже спустя 18 лет - яркие воспоминания.
(Translated by Google) It doesn’t look like a park, it’s most likely a small square. I walk through it every morning, because I live nearby. I’m outraged by the trash cans overflowing with garbage, the “Bird of Happiness” littered with pigeons. I think that in a capital city, recreational facilities should be kept in better conditions in a decent manner. (Original) На парк он никак не тянет,сторее всего это небльшой сквер.Каждое утро прогуливаюсь по нему,т.к.рядом проживаю.Возмущение переполненные мусором урны,загаженная голубями "Птица счастья".Думаю,что в столичном городе места отдыха должны содержаться в более достойном виде.

It can be very windy, especially in winter. (Original) Просторная набережная с множеством различных арт-объектов, подаренных городу Петрозаводску городами-побратимами.

(Translated by Google) The most interesting place in Petrozavodsk. Beautiful even in late autumn. Lots of interesting art objects. You can rent scooters, and there are many exercise machines in the park. There are plenty of parking spaces along the entire embankment, in front of the puppet theater.

На набережной очень много скульптур, подаренных разными странами: Финляндией, США, Латвией, Германией.
(Translated by Google) A very pleasant place for a walk in good weather: clean, a lot of art objects with history, not even worth talking about the lake itself - perfect at any time of the day or season.

(Translated by Google) Another “object” out of a dozen unfinished “Buryat technologies” only on the Petrozavodsk Embankment - the republic’s money flows directly to unscrupulous contractors, the courts of the city on the Neva, etc. (Original) Очередной "объект"из десятка незавершенных только на Набережной Петрозаводска "бурятские технологии"-деньги республики перетекают заведма недобросовестным подрядчикам, судам города на Неве и т.д.
(Translated by Google) The Petrozavodsk embankment is located on Lake Onega. Clean, well-groomed, long. There are many sculptures along the entire length, which is interesting for tourists.

Very informative displays, with bilingual descriptions. I was smitten with the culture of Karelia when I arrived in Petrozavodsk, but this museum helped me learn more about the rich and long-standing culture.
It is a great museum where you can find everything related to Karelian culture. We spent around two and a half hours there and learned a lot about Karelian culture, from their lifestyle to traditions. Very informative place. If you visit Petrozavodsk, you should visit there. Highly recommended!
It has a lot of rooms with expositions
Very nice little museum. Had a good tour. Learned lots of things about Karelia.
Charming small museum
History of karelia
(Translated by Google) An ordinary museum. There are many exhibits and they are interesting, but the presentation of information needs to be worked on! In each room, you have to read the canvases of text written in small print (sometimes the signs with the font are on the wall behind the glass, try to read it). The inscriptions on the glass are half-erased, again - they are difficult to read, especially if the font is black against the background of a black exhibit. (attached a photo) Some exhibits have no numbers at all, figure out what is what as you want 🤷🏻‍♀️There is nothing interactive either. (Original) Обычный музей. Экспонатов много и они интересные, но над подачей информации надо работать! В каждом зале читать полотна текста, написанного мелким шрифтом (иногда таблички с шрифтом находятся на стене за стеклом, попробуй прочитай). На стеклах надписи полустертые, опять же - их тяжело читать, особенно если черный шрифт на фоне черного экспоната. (прикрепила фото) На некоторых экспонатах вообще нет чисел, разбирайся что есть что как хочешь🤷🏻‍♀️Ничего интерактивного тоже нет.
(Translated by Google) Very large and interesting museum. Good choice of souvenirs. (Original) Очень большой и интересный музей. Хороший выбор сувениров.

Open-air museum on an island featuring a church & historical wooden buildings from around Karelia.
Slide 1 of 8
This open air museum is really great and well organized. You arrive here by ship and then you stay there for 4 hours before return. The 1st 2 hours you have a guide, also in english, the other 2 hours you are free to do whatever you want. There is also a restaurant there and souvenir shops. The main church is still closed for reconstruction.
I was searching for a spot in the St. petersburg area online and decided to look for Kizhi, just out of curiosity --- I visited this place back in 1973... Yes, that's 47 years ago!! I was in high school at the time, and taking part in a Russian language study summer trip! This was one of several excursions while I was staying in Leningrad (St. Petersburg!) Back in the cold war era..!!! Anyway, seeing all the online photos now sure brought back some memories! I remember seeing those wooden churches with such amazing detail, and wondering how and why they were built. Going by the recent photos, it looks like this place has been well maintained, which is good. If you find yourself in the area for any reason, this is a worthwhile side trip.
Wooden architecture can be found throughout Russia, but Kizhi Island boasts some of the nation's most famous, and most intricate, examples. These structures on Kizhi Island date from various centuries (the oldest from the 14th century), Blessed with one of the most picturesque ensembles of Russian wooden churches, the Lake Onega island Kizhi provides the most scenic destination on Russia’s greatest waterway, the Volga.
Famous Kizhi - the legend says these churches and other buildings were built without any nail. Truth it or not, doesn't matter as Kizhi quite popular among tourists either Russian or International (On the day we were visiting Kizhi, huge ship had arrived with dozens of tourists mostly Americans and German). Kizhi is a magic place, quiet and like no other. The way people used to live here was recreated - students and volunteers dressed in relevant clothes will tell you some stories about how Kizhi was established, what people ate and how they survived long and cold winters. Beatiful choir consisting of 4 or 5 singers will bring you some sense of this place
I don't know if I believe everything I am told about this place (Built by one man who threw his axe in the lake upon completion) but it is something special to see. Love outdoor museums and this one is great.
An amazing sight. A church built of wood in such a remote island.It is a huge project built by a dedicated man. It is a must see de stination
Wonderful UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE site. Historical Karelia regional structures moved here to this outdoor museum.
Wonderful place. Unesco World Heritage site.

Well! What a strange yet wonderful place. I arrived via the back entrance after following google maps - I wandered through some mariners back yards then found the museum amongst the wooden buildings and boats. There I was greeted by a cheerful man who welcomed me into a group of Russian visitors. Despite my lack of Russian, he asked where I was from and proceeded to tell me of the places he must've sailed to in England, Bristol and Poole among others. I was then taken to a video room where I was met by another joyful character who did his best to translate his speech to English and sometimes used the other guests as assistants if he didn't know the words in English. After a tough year of living and travelling around Russia as I couldn't go home (people thought I was a covid threat) here, however, I was treat as an esteemed guest. I was overjoyed at the effort they all made to include me in the different exhibitions and to impart the knowledge of the sea voyages this group of sailors had experienced. I had a lovely time. I encourage any visitor to Petrazavodsk to go find out about the adventures of this devoted group of people.
Interesting excursion about Historical Maritime Industry in Russia and nearby states
(Translated by Google) We thoroughly enjoyed the excursion conducted by your wonderful “first mate and navigator” Alina. Great, interesting, curious! I really liked the exhibits, but thanks to Alina, we literally visited those places that she talked about so fascinatingly, it was great that we could feel and touch some of the exhibits, we left the museum in complete delight! Alina is very smart, I wish there were more such interesting, fascinating, intriguing guides! Just 5+!!! And to your museum of prosperity and growth! We are looking forward to meeting you again!! Thank you!!! (Original) Получили огромное удовольствие от экскурсии проведённой вашей замечательной «старпомом и штурманом» Алиной. Здорово, интересно, любопытно! Очень понравились экспонаты, но благодаря Алине мы в буквально побывали на тех местах, о которых она рассказывала столь увлекательно, было здорово что могли ощутить и потрогать некоторые экспонаты, вышли из музея в полном восторге! Алина большая умничка, побольше бы таких интересных, увлекательных, интригующих экскурсоводов! Просто 5+!!! А Вашему музею процветания и роста! Ждём новой встречи!! Спасибо!!!
(Translated by Google) An interesting museum run by enthusiasts. You can see, touch, and take photos of everything in the museum. It's educational not only for children but also for adults. Thanks to our tour guide, Sergei Petrovich, for the engaging conversation. The tour included a display of exhibits, as well as photographs and videos. I hope such a museum survives! And to maintain it, we need the support of the regional administration and the government. (Original) Интересный музей, который держится на энтузиастах. В музее можно все посмотреть, потрогать, сделать фотографии. Познавательно не только детям, но и взрослым. Экскурсоводу Сергею Петровичу спасибо за интересную беседу. Экскурсия сопровождалось показом экспонатов, а также фотографиями и роликами. Хотелось бы, чтобы такой музей сохранился! А чтобы все поддерживать нужна помощь администрации края и правительства.
(Translated by Google) The museum clearly lacks funding. There is slight devastation. In general, thanks to the people who work there, the museum is interesting, the excursion was extremely educational. It was just the two of us and everything went over in 2 hours, we don’t regret it. They told the story in such detail, with photographs, exhibits, etc. All liked it. In the museum you can touch everything and go everywhere. Prepare 100 rubles for the firecracker. But it's worth it. (Original) Музею однозначно не хватает финансирования. Присутствует лёгкая разруха. В целом благодаря людям, которые там работают, музей интересный, экскурсия была крайне познавательная. Мы были вдвоем и все прошло за 2 часа, не жалеем. Настолько подробно рассказали историю, с фотографиями экспонатами и тд Всё понравилось. В музее всё можно трогать и везде заходить. За петарду приготовьте 100р. Но оно того стоит.
(Translated by Google) Excellent maritime museum. Tour guide Eric gave an excellent tour of the ships and the museum itself. Ships, both active and not afloat. Very interesting. Especially with a guide. Lots of interactive things. You will not regret. (Original) Отличный морской музей. Экскурсовод Эрик провел прекрасную экскурсию по кораблями и по самому музею. Корабли как действующие, так и находящиеся не на плаву. Очень интересно. Особенно с экскурсоводом. Много интерактивных штучек. Не пожалеете.
(Translated by Google) Very interesting. You can touch everything, try it on, photos are welcome. Ring the bell. Entrance 200 rubles per person, 200 rubles for half an hour boat ride, +300 to the water ticket per person - personal excursion. Children under 6 years old are free. (Original) Очень интересно. Можно все потрогать, примерить, фото приветсвуется. Позвонить в колокол. Вход 200 руб с человека, 200 руб полчаса покататься на лодке, +300 к водному билету с человека - персональная экскурсия. Дети до 6 лет бесплатно.
(Translated by Google) It was very difficult to find it, because we were traveling with a group of children on a city bus and walked from the stop. In fact, we got off at a stop further, because neither the driver nor the passengers on the bus could clearly tell us where to get off. The entrance to the club leaves much to be desired, as does the appearance of the territory, but the stories of the guides and the ships themselves, both outside and inside, make an indelible impression! (Original) Было очень сложно найти его, т.к. мы ехали группой детей на городском автобусе и с остановки шли пешком. Фактически вышли на остановку дальше, т.к. ни водитель, ни пассажиры в автобусе не смогли однозначно сказать, где выходить. Вход в клуб оставляет желать лучшего, как и внешний вид территории, но вот рассказы экскурсоводов и сами корабли, как снаружи, так и внутри, производят неизгладимое впечатление!

Museum exhibiting a permanent collection of historical, folk & modern Karelian & Russian art.
Slide 1 of 8
Really nice collection of Karelian art and paintings. It tells you a lot about the place and the lives of people over there. Not to forget the beauty of the nature that surrounds this region and how the nature affects the everyday lives of the people. On the lower floor there are 4 rooms with paintings dedicated to the 4 seasons respectively. On the floor above there are many Icon paintings and traditional dresses and crafts.
The Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Karelia, located at 8 Karl Marx Avenue in Petrozavodsk, occupies the historical building of the former Olonets Men's Provincial Gymnasium from the late 18th century, which is a monument of architecture of federal significance. Founded in 1960, the museum began its activities with a collection transferred from the Karelian State Museum of Local Lore, which includes Old Russian paintings, Russian art from the 18th and 19th centuries, works by Karelian artists, and folk art from Karelia. Today, the museum's collection includes over 14,000 exhibits, divided into six main collections: Karelian iconography from the 15th to the 20th centuries, Karelian folk art, Russian art from the 18th to the 20th centuries, Russian art of the 20th century, contemporary art of Karelia, and Western European art. The collection of Old Russian art is particularly valuable, featuring unique exhibits such as the 15th-century icons "The Prophet Elijah" and "The Apostles Peter and Paul," the early 16th-century "Deesis," and the 1647 signed icon by Ignatiy Panteleev. A special place is occupied by a collection dedicated to Karelian embroidery and household items.
The permanent collection consists of an exhibition on the Kalevala, Orthodox icons, and modern Karelian art. The gem is definitely the Kalevala collection, which presents scenes from the epic in styles you're unlikely to see elsewhere. Allow yourself one to two hours for the permanent collection.
Very interesting local museum... Especially for the local painters and temporary exhibition... Of course the ladies at the tickets office are bored and not really keen to help you. they prefer chit chats and write self-service cloakroom... No comments ;-)
Intersting story of Karelia
(Translated by Google) The museum is located in the historical buildings of the former gymnasium. Nice museum with a good atmosphere. Spacious rooms, modern lighting and descriptions of objects. The exhibition is quite varied. Russian painting, works of Karelian masters, the epic “Kalevala”. Interesting collection of icons. It’s just a pity that they didn’t tell us when purchasing tickets that the collection of Western European art was not included in the main exhibition. That's why we didn't look. We slowly wandered through the halls of the museum, and then, an hour before closing, tickets were no longer sold. (Original) Музей расположен в историческом зданий бывшей гимназии. Хороший музей с хорошей атмосферой. Просторные залы, современная подсветка и описание предметов. Экспозиция достаточно разнообразная. Русская живопись, работы карельских мастеров, эпос «Калевала». Интересная коллекция икон. Жаль только, что не подсказали при покупке билетов, что коллекция западноевропейского искусства не входит в основную экспозицию. Поэтому и не посмотрели. Мы не спеша бродили по залам музея, а потом, за час до закрытия, билеты уже не продавали.
(Translated by Google) Very impressed. I recommend booking a tour in advance. This increases the pleasure of viewing by an order of magnitude. I liked both the permanent and temporary exhibitions. I especially liked the exhibition of items from the royal palace, the exhibition of Empress Maria Fedorovna, including her personally painted paintings. The exhibition color sign shape is interesting. And of course the epic Kalevala. And what kind of women's folk costumes are there? And now they could be relevant for fashionistas. My photos are selected from different exhibitions. (Original) Очень впечатлило. Рекомендую заранее заказывать экскурсию. Это на порядок увеличивает удовольствие осмотра. Понравились и постоянные экспозиции и временные. Особенно понравилась выставка предметов из царского дворца выставка имератрица Мария Федоровна, в том числе есть ее личнонаписанные картины. Выставка цвет знак форма интересна. И конечно эпос Калевала. А какие там женские народные костюмы. И сейчас могли быть актуальными для модниц. Фотки у меня выборочно из разных выставок.
(Translated by Google) I experienced great pleasure visiting the exhibition dedicated to the Karelian-Finnish epic Klevala in the art museum of the city of Petrozavodsk. The exhibition featured works by Karelian artists. There was also an opportunity to play the kantele and remember my youth. I really liked the exhibition. The atmosphere of the museum is pleasant. (Original) Испытала огромное удовольствие, посетив выставку, посвященную карело-финскому эпосу Клевала в художественном музее города Петрозаводска. На выставке были представлены работы карельских художников. Была так же возможность поиграть на кантеле, вспомнить молодость. Экспозиция очень понравилась. Атмосфера музея приятная.

(Translated by Google) This is just a shame for the governor! Everything is unkempt! Only two flower beds are beautifully done; the rest of the area leaves much to be desired.

Recommended place to see in Petrozavodsk with Alexander Nevsky monument.
(Translated by Google) Cathedral. Magnificent classical architecture. Built between 1826 and 1832. Architect Pietro Carlo Maderni. In 1929 it was closed and transferred to the local history museum, and all 5 domes were demolished. It’s good that it did not suffer the fate of the Cathedral of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, which was completely destroyed in 1936. Located in a small park. (Original) Кафедральный собор. Великолепная классическая архитектура. Строился 1826—1832 годах. Архитектор Пьетро Карло Мадерни. В 1929 году был закрыт и передан краеведческому музею, при этом были снесены все 5 куполов. Хорошо еще, что его не постигла участь кафедрального собор Сошествия Святого Духа полностью разрушенного в 1936 году. Находится в небольшом парке.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful, rich cathedral. There is a well-kept, chic park around, there is a parking lot, but the Temple did not inspire awe in me, I don’t know why... Perhaps because until recently there was a local history museum here.)) (Original) Красивый, богатый собор. Ухоженный,шикарный парк вокруг,есть парковка,но Храм у меня благоговения не вызвал,не знаю почему... Возможно потому,что ещё недавно сдесь был краеведческий музей.))
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful cathedral, both inside and outside. There is a service in the cathedral, there are many icons, you can light candles. (Original) Очень красивый собор, как внутри, так и снаружи. В соборе проходит служба, много икон, можно поставить свечи.
(Translated by Google) It's cool, like being in a big village. The region does not look like a capital. And in such a remote place there is such a majestic cathedral!) (Original) Прикольно, как в большой деревне. На столицу края не тянет. И в таком захолустье такой величественный собор!)
(Translated by Google) This is a special place and each of us comes here to the extent of our spiritual enlightenment and symbolism of faith in God, the unity of the Clergy and the Russian Orthodox Church, I advise everyone to come and visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral at least 2 times a month, to know at least 3 three prayers by heart: Our Father; Jesus Christ or Mother of God; about the deceased for the repose of their souls; It is also advisable to learn the song of the Creed; Well, when you arrive, it’s definitely better to light candles a little earlier before the start of the service: on the right side of the Temple for health; on the left, at the foot of the crucifixion of Christ for the repose (without crossing ourselves and without bowing), we read only a prayer for the repose of the soul and the name of the deceased; I wish you all pleasant spiritual balance and peace, God bless you. (Original) Это особое место и каждый из нас бывает здесь в меру своей духовной просвещенности и символичности веры в Бога, единства Духовенства и Русской Православной Церкви, всем советую заходить и посещать Храм собор Александра Невского не реже 2-х раз в месяц, знать хотя бы 3 три молитвы наизусть: Отче наш; Иисусу Христу или Божьей Матери; о усопших за упокой души; еще желательно выучить песнь Символ Веры; ну и обязательно по приходу лучше чуть раньше перед началом службы ставить свечи: по правой стороне Храма за здравие; по левой у подножия распятия Христа за упокой ( не крестясь и не отдавая поклон) читаем только молитву за упокой души и имя покойного; всем приятного духовного равновесия и умиротворения, Храни Вас Бог.

(Translated by Google) A great place for the whole family. Allows you to touch (literally) the recent past and remember the distant past - the founding of Petrozavodsk and the main city-forming enterprise - the cannon factory. You can touch the exhibits, there are various things for children, it’s very exciting. Admission is free. Interesting even in the wardrobe. Opening hours: 11:00-17:00, closed on Monday. Entrance via stairs from Liteinaya Square. (Original) Прекрасное место для всей семьи. Позволяет прикоснуться (буквально) к недавнему прошлому и вспомнить прошлое далекое - основание Петрозаводска и основного градообразующего предприятия - пушечного завода. Экспонаты можно трогать, есть различные штуки для детей, очень увлекательно. Вход бесплатный. Интересно даже в гардеробе. Время работы: 11:00-17:00, выходной - понедельник. Вход по лестнице от Литейной площади.
(Translated by Google) The museum is free, I was surprised. The director was very pleasant, she explained everything in detail, and then when questions arose, turning to her, we received interesting explanations. The children were delighted, the adults liked it too 👍🏻 (Original) Музей бесплатный, удивило. Очень приятная директриса, всё подробно объяснила, и потом при возникновении вопросов обращаясь к ней получали интересные объяснения. Дети были в восторге, взрослым тоже понравилось 👍🏻
(Translated by Google) Great museum with interactive exhibits. You can touch everything, and even a small child will find something to do. Despite the small room, you can stay in the museum for a very long time. (Original) Отличный музей с интерактивными экспозициями. Всё можно потрогать, и даже маленького ребёнка надётся чем занять. Несмотря на небольшое помещение, находиться в музее можно очень долго.
(Translated by Google) A very interesting place. For a family hike, it’s generally not noticeable. The history of the plant is shown, you can plunge into the Soviet years, see how people worked. A lot of old photos. Almost all exhibits can be touched. (Original) Очень интересное место. Для семейного похода вообще замечать ное. Показана история завода, можно окунуться в советские годы, посмотреть, как работали люди. Очень много старых фото. Почти все экспонаты можно потрогать.
(Translated by Google) Surprisingly, admission to the museum is absolutely free! Both in the hall of temporary exhibitions and in the main exhibition. I’ve seen the main exhibition more than once, but I was happy to go through it again and refresh my memory of the history of the Aleksandrovsky plant, OTP and other industrial enterprises of the city. (Original) Удивительно, что вход в музей абсолютно бесплатный! И в зал временных выставок, и на основную экспозицию. Основную экспозицию смотрела уже не раз, но с удовольствием прошлась снова и освежить в памяти историю Александровского завода, ОТЗ и других промышленных предприятий города.
(Translated by Google) A wonderful small private museum, admission is free, but you need to arrange a tour in advance. (Original) Чудесный небольшой частный музей, вход бесплатный, но об экскурсии надо договориться заранее.
(Translated by Google) A free museum dedicated to the history of the Petrovsky plant, and later Olonetsky. Interactive exhibition, you can touch and compare (Original) Бесплатный музей, посвященный истории Петровского завода, а позднее и Олонецкого. Интерактивная экспозиция, можно потрогать и сравнить
(Translated by Google) The museum is small. An interesting collection of words of praise to the winners of socialist competitions. We had a bread box like this at home! It is tragic that production at all factories has stopped. (Original) Музей небольшой. Занятная коллекция прихов победителям соцсоревнований. У нас дома была такая хлебница! Трагедия, что производство на всех заводах остановлено.

Very informative displays, with bilingual descriptions. I was smitten with the culture of Karelia when I arrived in Petrozavodsk, but this museum helped me learn more about the rich and long-standing culture.
It is a great museum where you can find everything related to Karelian culture. We spent around two and a half hours there and learned a lot about Karelian culture, from their lifestyle to traditions. Very informative place. If you visit Petrozavodsk, you should visit there. Highly recommended!
It has a lot of rooms with expositions
Very nice little museum. Had a good tour. Learned lots of things about Karelia.
Charming small museum
History of karelia
(Translated by Google) An ordinary museum. There are many exhibits and they are interesting, but the presentation of information needs to be worked on! In each room, you have to read the canvases of text written in small print (sometimes the signs with the font are on the wall behind the glass, try to read it). The inscriptions on the glass are half-erased, again - they are difficult to read, especially if the font is black against the background of a black exhibit. (attached a photo) Some exhibits have no numbers at all, figure out what is what as you want 🤷🏻‍♀️There is nothing interactive either. (Original) Обычный музей. Экспонатов много и они интересные, но над подачей информации надо работать! В каждом зале читать полотна текста, написанного мелким шрифтом (иногда таблички с шрифтом находятся на стене за стеклом, попробуй прочитай). На стеклах надписи полустертые, опять же - их тяжело читать, особенно если черный шрифт на фоне черного экспоната. (прикрепила фото) На некоторых экспонатах вообще нет чисел, разбирайся что есть что как хочешь🤷🏻‍♀️Ничего интерактивного тоже нет.
(Translated by Google) Very large and interesting museum. Good choice of souvenirs. (Original) Очень большой и интересный музей. Хороший выбор сувениров.

(Translated by Google) A park in the very center of the city. Lots of greenery, flower beds, paths. In the center is a monument to G. R. Derzhavin. A pleasant place, not yet completely cluttered with modern art objects and activities. (Original) Парк в самом центре города. Много зелени, клумбы, дорожки. В центре памятник Г. Р. Державину. Приятное место, еще не совсем загроможденное современными арт объектами и активностями.
(Translated by Google) This is just a shame for the governor! Everything is unkempt! Only two flower beds are beautifully done; the rest of the area leaves much to be desired. (Original) Это просто позор губернатора! Все неухожено! Только две клумбы с цветами сделаны красиво, вся остальная территория оставляет желать лучшего.
(Translated by Google) A good place to go for a walk with children or alone. Children's playground, basketball court, horizontal bars, benches for vacationers are clean and tidy.

(Translated by Google) Good, calm. but not enough greenery, flowers. It would be possible to make an open-air cinema. Or a stage for performances by local artists. (Original) Хорошо,спокойно.но мало зелени,цветов.можно было бы сделать открытый кинотеатр.или сцену для выступления местных артистов.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful children's show, actors, music. Beautiful design, comfortable locker room, hall, toilets. Everything is equipped for wheelchair users. (Original) Замечательный детский спектакль, актеры, музыка. Красивое оформление, удобная раздевалка, холл, туалеты. Все оборудовано и для инвалидов колясочников.
(Translated by Google) I liked the performance, the acting, their excellent command of the Finnish language, including pronunciation and intonation. The interior of the theater is modern, it is pleasant to be in it, you get real pleasure. (Original) Мне понравился спектакль, игра актёров,их отличное владение финским языком, включая произношение и интонации. Интерьер театра современный, приятно находиться в нем,получаешь истинное удовольствие.
(Translated by Google) Excellent actors, I went to the Christmas tree with my child two years in a row, two elegant halls, a pleasant administrator. The productions are interesting - they don’t overact. Everything is great, we’ll go))) (Original) Отличные актёры, ходили с ребёнком на ёлку два года подряд, два нарядных холла, приятный администратор. Постановки интересные- не переигрывают. Всё супер, будем ходить)))
(Translated by Google) We enjoy going with the whole family. Performances for children and adults are always performed at the highest level. Polite staff, reasonable prices, actors put their whole soul into their roles. As a result, every trip to the theater is an event and a holiday for everyone! (Original) С удовольствием ходим всей семьёй. Детские и взрослые спектакли всегда проходят на высшем уровне. Вежливый персонал, приемлемые цены, актёры вкладывают всю душу в роль. В результате каждый поход в театр это целое событие и праздник для всех!
(Translated by Google) We watched the play "Splash of Champagne" I really liked the acting! Wonderful Finnish language, excellent pronunciation! Despite the fact that the performance took place in a small hall, we did not experience any inconvenience. It was even more interesting to watch the actors play. It gave the impression of direct participation in the action. The theater is very beautiful and cozy. The wardrobe work is 5 plus. All sanitary safety requirements are met in the theater. Thank you very much to the theater team. We hope to become your regular viewers. (Original) Посмотрели спектакль "Брызги шампанского" Очень понравилась игра актеров! Замечательный финский язык, отличное произношение! Несмотря на то, что спектакль прошел в малом зале, неудобства мы не испытали. Еще интереснее было наблюдать за игрой актеров. Создавалось впечатление непосредственного участия в действии. Театр очень красивый, уютный. Работа гардероба на 5 с плюсом.В театре соблюдены все требования санитарной безопасности . Спасибо большое коллективу театра. Надеемся стать вашими постоянными зрителями.
(Translated by Google) I love this theater! I attended many performances, some 5-6 times!!! The actors are amazing, special thanks to everyone for the emotions they gave. The costumes and sets are always top notch. The only thing that confuses me is the monophonic, often delayed translation into headphones during performances in Finnish. This is terribly distracting, stressful and does not help at all to plunge into the atmosphere of the action. (Original) Обожаю этот театр! Посетила множество спектаклей, некоторые по 5-6 раз!!! Актёры потрясающие, каждому - отдельное спасибо за подаренные эмоции. Костюмы и декорации всегда выше похвал. Одно только меня смущает: это одноголосый часто запаздывающий перевод в наушники на спектаклях на финском языке. Это ужасно отвлекает, напрягает и совершенно не помогает окунуться в атмосферу действия.
(Translated by Google) Great place. Was there for the first time. I really liked it and it left a lot of impressions. The acting is top notch. One of the downsides is that they played in Karelian, there was translation through headphones, and the translator translated everything in one voice, monotonously. But if we ignore this, then everything is fine. I will definitely go to the theater again, and I advise many people to visit. (Original) Прекрасное место. Был там впервые. Очень понравилось осталась масса впечатлений. Игра актеров на высшем уровне. Из минусов, т.к играли на карельском языке, шел перевод через наушники, и переводчик переводил всё в один голос, монотонно. Но если отвлечься от этого, то всё прекрасно. Обязательно схожу в театр ещё раз, и многим советую посетить.
(Translated by Google) We were in this theater for the first time at the play “House with Windows on a Field.” Great performance! Thank you for your reverent attitude towards the viewer and your work! Good luck and creative victories! (Original) Были впервые в этом театре на спектакле "Дом окнами в поле". Прекрасный спектакль! Благодарю за трепетное отношение к зрителю и своей работе! Удачи вам и творческих побед!

(Translated by Google) This is an awesome place, we walked this way to the damn chair at the end of winter. The church was simply ominous. The ambience is indescribable. (Original) Это офигенное место, мы шли этой дорогой к чертову стулу в конце зимы. Церковь была просто зловещая. Антураж непередаваемый.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place worth visiting. The church is located on a rock formation (elevation). Almost the same age as Petrozavodsk. It is beautiful both from an architectural point of view and its location. There is a beautiful view of the city. Of course it spoils, but it also seems to add some zest to the panton bridge located nearby (although a modern bridge is simply necessary) (Original) Красивое место, которое стойт посетить. Церковь расположена на скальной породе (возвышении). Почти ровесник Петрозаводска. Прекрасна как и с архитектурной точки зрения, так и места расположения. Открывается красивый вид на город. Конечно портит но и вроде вносит изюминку расположены рядом пантонный мост (хотя современный мост просто необходим)
(Translated by Google) The church was placed in a cool way, right on a granite rock. (Original) Прикольно разместили церковь, прям на гранитной скале.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, the church stands on a rock, and from here you can see the whole of Petrozavodsk. (Original) Красивое место, церковь стоит на скале, и от сюда открывается вид на весь Петрозаводск.

Great experience at the Petrozavodsk Botanical gardens!
Сommon garden in the country, but more large.
(Translated by Google) We arrived by taxi and were immediately surprised to be greeted by a fox!!! We saw her twice during our walk. There was peace and quiet in the garden, there was no line at the ticket office. Bot staff. The garden is friendly, they answered all your questions. We also then entered the territory of Devil’s Chair Mountain. We liked everything THANK YOU!! (Original) Приехали на такси, и тут же удивились нас встретила лиса!!! Её на протяжении нашей прогулки мы увидили дважды. В саду тишина умиротворение, очереди в кассе не было. Персонал в бот. саду приветливый, на интересующие вопросы всё рассказали. Также потом зашли на территорию горы Чертов Стул. Нам всё понравилось СПАСИБО!!

(Translated by Google) Damn, guys, not in March🤣🤣🤣 Don't repeat our feat! In the summer, yes, in the fall too. But now - on my knees up to the tract (without sticks and special shoes) and in the back place - down. It was a miracle that we survived, and of course we saw the damn chair. They came to their senses in the Talio restaurant...No comments. (Original) Блин, ребята, только не в марте месяце🤣🤣🤣 Не повторяйте наш подвиг! Летом-да, осенью тоже. Но сейчас-на коленях вверх к урочищу (без палок и спец.обуви) и на заднем месте-вниз. Чудом остались живы, Чертов стул, конечно увидели. В себя приходили в рестране Талио...Без комментариев.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, especially for botany lovers. We just went and looked. The work of a landscape designer is visible. In some places there are very interesting, pleasant compositions. Even a two year old child found it interesting. And there is somewhere to sit and relax. I really don’t know how it is here in bad weather, we were very lucky with it (Original) Красивое место, особенно для ценителей ботаники. Мы же просто ходили смотрели. Видна работа ландшафтного дизайнера. Местами очень интересные, приятные композиции. Даже двухлетнему ребенку было интересно. И посидеть есть где, отдохнуть. Правда не знаю, как здесь в плохую погоду, нам с ней очень повезло
(Translated by Google) A very good place for a walk. Quiet environment! Lots of interesting things from the plant world. Many interesting and beautiful trees were collected. Spend a couple of hours outdoors reading an interesting book, but you can only sit in the central part. Everything is beautiful and good. Note to management, there are not enough toilet benches. And everything is fine. (Original) Для прогулки очень хорошее место. Тихая обстановка! Много чего интересного из мира растений. Собраны много интересных и красивых деревьев. Провести пару часов на свежем воздухе за интересной книгой ., Только вот присесть можно только в центральной части. Всё красиво и хорошо. Замечание руководству, не хватает лавочек туалета.
