Primorsk

Primorsk is a town in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Karelian Isthmus. Situated on the Gulf of Finland, it is a port city and a popular resort destination. Historically, the area has seen various inhabitants and rulers, reflecting its strategic location. Before World War II, it was part of Finland, known as Uuras. Following the war, the territory was ceded to the Soviet Union and later became part of Russia.

The town's economy is largely based on its port, which handles cargo and serves as a passenger terminal. Fishing and tourism also contribute significantly to its economic activity. Primorsk's beaches and sanatoriums attract visitors, especially during the summer months. The climate is transitional, with influences from both continental and maritime air masses, leading to moderately cold winters and warm summers.

Geographically, Primorsk is characterized by its coastal landscape, featuring sandy beaches, dunes, and coniferous forests. The Vyborg Bay and the Gulf of Finland shape its maritime character. The town is accessible by road and rail, connecting it to larger cities like Saint Petersburg. Its proximity to the Finnish border also adds to its significance as a border town.
