| The Kizhi historic, cultural and natural complex is a unique historic area having no equal in the European North of Russia reflecting the concentration of the monuments of our heritage. Both the monuments (the architectural ensemble of the Kizhi Pogost) those originally built on the site and those brought here from other parts of Karelia make up the museum collection and represent the main aspects of the traditional culture of the ingenious peoples of Karelia (Karelians, Russians, Vepsians). |
