# Svetogorsk

Svetogorsk (Светогорск) is an industrial town on the Karelian Isthmus and the river Vuoksi, next to the Finnish border and Imatra.

## Understand

Svetogors is an industrial town of 16,000 inhabitants in the Vyborgsky District of Leningrad Oblast, on the Karelian Isthmus, on the Vuoksi River.
The town was founded as Enso in 1887 to serve a paper mill (Enso Oy and later Enso-Gutzeit became one of Finland's major paper producers). At the time the area was part of the Jääski municipality in the Grand Duchy of Finland, and it remained part of Finland after 1917.
Enso was ceded to the Soviet Union after World War II, together with the rest of the Karelian Isthmus. The Karelian Isthmus saw heavy fighting, and traces remain in Svetogorsk, which was the new name given to the town in 1949.
In 1972, a new cellulose and paper mill was built in Svetogorsk by the Finnish (cf Kostomuksha). The project also gave a start to cross-border relations. Today Svetogorsk and Imatra are called twin towns, but cooperation is far from that of Tornio/Haparanda. However, the Finnish heritage and proximity is visible – not only as a way to attract Finnish visitors – although usually not in the shape you'd expect in Finland.

## Get in

Svetogorsk is just a kilometre from the Finnish–Russian border check point (closed as of 2024 because of the war on Ukraine; check current status), 5 km from Imatra. You may need a vehicle to cross.
There are buses and possibly trains from Vyborg. The distance from St. Petersburg is 207 km (129 mi).

## Get around

The town is small enough for walking. No local public transport.
Many streets are in bad condition, watch out when driving.
Taxi: phone +7 (921) 936-30-00

## Buy

There are shops, some of them much cheaper than their Finnish counterparts, so expect also Finnish customers. There is one shopping centre.

# Anagni

Anagni is a city in the south of Lazio in Italy. Close to the Autostrada del Sole between Rome and Naples, it is normally ignored by people hurrying along the highway. However, it well rewards a visit.

## Understand

Anagni has an important history. In Imperial times, many emperors used to spend their summers there to escape the heat of Rome. In the ninth century the first Cathedral was built on the ruins of a temple dedicated to the Goddess Ceres. During the tenth and the eleventh centuries popes also began to consider it a healthier spot than Rome. In the thirteenth century Anagni gave the world four popes who were all members of the same family (the Conti family).
In 1302 Pope Boniface VIII, the last of the Anagni popes, issued the Bull Unam Sanctam, which claimed the Pope's absolute supremacy. Philip, King of France organized an expedition to arrest the Pope, who was captured in his palace at Anagni in September 1303. That event effectively marked the end of Anagni’s importance, as the seat of the Popes was soon transferred to Avignon in France.

## Get in

Anagni is about 60km south of Rome on the A1 highway. There is a train station, however, it is some distance from the town. There is a bus stop at this station, but the bus does not run on Sundays and no timetable information for other days is provided.
