"Vasilisa," "Baltic Sky," "Sisters," "Cargo 200."
In the morning we will visit the famous Osinovets lighthouse and Shlisselburg, one of the most cinematic cities in Russia. In Novaya Ladoga, Volkhov and Kirishi we will remember films that make you think and even feel sad. But let's not give in to sad thoughts: it's only cinema!

Many films have been shot in Shlisselburg, which is quite logical. For example, in 2001, Sergei Bodrov chose this place to make his film "Sisters" with the young Oksana Akinshina.
In the 70s, the comedy "Marriage" was filmed here. In March, there was already no snow, and it was made of foam for filming. The film features, in particular, the city police department. The main role in the film was played by Yevgeny Leonov, who liked to drink beer in the Gostiny Dvor beer house between shootings.
Some episodes of the mini-series "Peter the First. Testament" (2011) was filmed in the fortress of Oreshek. The series tells the story of the last two years of Peter I. The emperor was played by Alexander Baluyev, and the native Leningrad Boyarsky also appeared in the film.
Unfortunately, the Oreshek fortress is closed for the winter, but you can walk around the city and look at it from the embankment.
Hours of operation: Monday - Friday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday: 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sunday: day off.
