Everything about Losevo Leningrad Oblast totally explained
Losevo (; ) is a rural settlement on
Karelian Isthmus in
Priozersky District,
Leningrad Oblast, located at the junction of
Vuoksi River and
Lake Sukhodolskoye, and a station of the
Saint Petersburg-Hiitola railroad. Before the
Winter War and
Continuation War it was a village of the
Sakkola municipality of
Finland known as
Kiviniemi.
Originally waters of Suvanto (Lake Sukhodolskoye) quietly flowed into Vuoksi, but in 1818, as
Taipaleenjoki (Burnaya River) had emerged and started draining Suvanto into
Lake Ladoga, the level of the former decreased dramatically by 7 m and the waterway connecting it to Vuoksi dried out. In 1857 the channel was dug, but the stream reversed direction, revealed
rapids and rendered navigation impossible. Since 1857 Lake Sukhodolskoye and Burnaya River have constituted the southern armlet of Vuoksi River, which has decreased the level of the original northern armlet by 4 m.
Before the construction of
Saint Petersburg-Hiitola railroad, Kiviniemi was an important
river port connected to
Antrea,
Käkisalmi and
Taipale. In 1917 the railroad was constructed, and a railway bridge passed over the rapids.
