The head of the Leningrad region Alexander Drozdenko told about the special autumn in Sviritsa
In the village of Sviritsa, Volkhov district, where the river Svir merges with Lake Ladoga, autumn acquires a special charm: the water mirrors the sky, reed thickets sparkle with gold under the rays of the sun, and in the air there is a rustle of falling leaves. Governor Alexander Drozdenko shared pictures from Sviritsa and told about the white lighthouse.

Governor Alexander Drozdenko shared pictures from Sviritsa and told about the white lighthouse.
In Sviritsa there is a white lighthouse, a monument to the completion of the construction of the Novo-Svirsky Canal, with the inscription: “Begun in 1878 under Alexander II.” Completed in 1882 under Alexander III.
“Behind a short line is a whole epoch. The Mariinsky water system, which connected the Volga with the Baltic, was built over decades. And such lighthouses – there were two of them, white and red – became monuments in honor of the work of engineers, builders, pilots. Those who paved the way through water and time, the head of the region noted.
Alexander Drozdenko noted that, being near this lighthouse, contemplating the river, you can truly realize: history is not in textbooks, but in stone, cast iron, in the soil itself.
“Have a good week, Leningraders. Let it be a place for reflection and memory, Drozdenko wished the residents of the region.
