Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pobeda (Russian: ; Finnish: Kanneljärvi) is a rural locality on Karelian Isthmus, in Vyborgsky District of Leningrad Oblast, served by the station Kanneljärvi of the Saint Petersburg-Vyborg railroad. Until the Winter War and Continuation War, it had been the administrative center of the Kanneljärvi municipality of the Viipuri province of Finland. The Karelian Isthmus (Finnish: Karjalan kannas, Karjalankannas; Swedish: Karelska näset; Russian: ) is the approximately 45-110 km wide stretch of land that connects Russia to Finland, situated between the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga in northwestern Russia, to the north of the River Neva (between 61°21'N, 59°46'N and 27°42'E, 31°08'E). Its natural northwestern boundary is either the Salpausselkä ridge in Finland or the relatively narrow area between the Bay of Vyborg and Lake Ladoga. If the Karelian Isthmus is defined as the entire territory of present-day Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast to the north of the Neva, the isthmus' area covers about 15, 000 km2.
