    "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.

    Alexei Balabanov's crime drama "Cargo 200" (2007) shocked the whole country. Part of the shooting took place in Novaya Ladoga. You probably remember the disco scene in a half-destroyed church building with a huge homemade inscription "Club". By the way, young people from Novaya Ladoga and Volkhov participated in the crowd.

    Alexei Uchitel filmed his drama "Cosmos as a Premonition" in Volkholv. (2005). The film is set at the end of the 1950s. The director chose a good location: according to him, Volkhov has not changed much since then. "The grim industrial landscape of the local factory successfully echoes the industrial might and soullessness of the state. The old Soviet canteen, carousel and amusement ride, dormitory and bicycles," Uchitel recalled.
    Well, we will look at the Volkhov from the other side: gorgeous river scenery, hilly banks and very nice people.

    As you drive up to Kirisham, you probably noticed the endless factory buildings. This is the largest oil refinery in the European part of Russia. It's also the filming location for the Soviet movie Seven Brides of Sergeant Zbruyev (1971) - the company had just been commissioned.
    It's also where the Russian-American drama White Swan (2010), starring - attention! - Christian Slater. The plant was made available to the filmmakers for two days absolutely free of charge.
