      🌅 Sestroretsk Razliv by the dam

      • Peter I chose the site of the dam in 1720, planting a flag there; it was built by the "dam master" Wenedikt Beer.
      • The dam was completed in 1723, damming the Sestra and Chernaya rivers for the arms factory.
      • The reservoir covers 10.6 km², and its average depth is only 1.6 metres.
      • In 1873 the water level was raised by 60 inches for new turbines, flooding Razlivnaya Street — 272 houses.
      • In 1934 the reservoir dried up completely.
