In the very end of the year 2020 [[m:NWR-Hist|NWR-Hist wikimedians]] made their another wiki expedition—this time to the [[w:en:Republic of Karelia|Republic of [[Karelia]], which is one of the declared areas of their interest. The event turned out to be the biggest in a row: it was 3 days long and gathered participants from several regions of Russian Federation who occupied 3 cars to travel accross the area making stops for sightseeing, photographing, studying and making consultations. For reports on previous events, see [[:category:North-West Russia Wiki-Historians|Russian Wikinews category "North-West Russia Wiki-Historians"]].
 
The event was held with the financial support from [[wmru:|Wikimedia RU]], so some of participants were hosted at a hotel, some of the transportation expenses were also compensated. With this support, all of the group visited the famous [[w:en:Ruskeala|Ruskeala]] mountain park (central walk of the trip) and hade a dinner in the lake-side restaurant in the House of Composers historical building where common usergroup conference (central event of the trip) took place with Zoom connections with those who were absent.
 
{{Заголовок 2|The first day}}
 
The first group of 3 wikimedians started off from [[w:en:Saint Petersburg|Saint Petersburg]] on 25 December at 9:30 AM and moved towards Karelia along the [[:w:en:A121 highway (Russia)|A121 'Sortavala' highway]]. The cultural heritage sites in the [[w:en:Leningrad Oblast|Leningrad Oblast]]'s northern parts on this way were also very interesting for the group. So one of the stops was made in Priozersk, where [[m:CEE/Newsletter/May_2019/Contents/Russia_report|one of the previous rambles took place in May 2019]].

In Priozersk, the crew visited former Juho Ampiala mansion which is the cultural heritage site but which is located outside main tourist routes (that's why there were almost no photos at [[w:en:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]). The next stop was made at ancient [[w:en:Korela Fortress|Korela Fortress]], main town's landmark, to photograph it from above using the drone. The last visited location in Leningrad Oblast this time was the mock "border outpost" (mainly children-oriented) at Beryozovo settlement. It was not in plans, but its look attracts passing-by people. It was closed, but available for taking pictures from outside.
 
At the border of Leningrad Oblast and the Karelia Republic, the crew was briefly stopped by the border guards. Later the expeditioners turned away from mainline A-121 road and started moving by local roads through historical Hijtola and Kurkijoki settlements, and also visited Lasanen settlement where "Oceanpribor" scientific base is located.

The heavy northern snowfall hampered photographing and made the travelling speed much lower (despite the car being off-road). So the crew reached [[w:en:Lahdenpohja|Lahdenpohja]] only in the brink of sunset. Nevertheless, the participants tried to make some photos both from the ground and from above. Also they made short walk around the town center, visiting the main places of interest. On the picturesque shore, an old cast-iron cannon was found and photographed immediately for the thematic Wiki collection maintained by active Wikipedian Leonid Makarov.

As the sunset came, further photographing became senseless, so the travel part from Lahdenpohja to [[w:en:Sortavala|Sortavala]] was accomplished without further stops. Upon arrival, Saint Petersburg wikimedians joined [[w:en:Petrozavodsk|Petrozavodsk]] (Karelia's capital) wikimedians who arrived an hour before. They met near the Sortavala's central landmark, the monument to a Rune Singer at the [[w:en:Väinämöinen|Väinämöinen]] square. The whole group directed to the town's railway station and discussed transportation in region. They also watched [[w:en:steam locomotives|steam locomotives]] at Sortavala depot, where 3 active ones are in operation and 1 is used as monument but is also operable. This makes Sortavala the most "steamed" location in [[w:en:Northwestern Federal District|Russian Northwest]] after Saint Petersburg where are also a number of steam locomotives are available.
