Belozersk is a town in Vologda Oblast mentioned as far back as the Primary Chronicle. Stroll along its old streets, climb the kremlin rampart, find out how a dugout boat differs from a belozerka, and take in the landscapes loved by Vasily Shukshin. Admire the carved wooden houses, too: this is where Shukshin's film “The Red Snowball Tree” (Kalina Krasnaya) was shot.

This log house was built in 1884 by Kalinin, a prominent Belozersk merchant. Today it is considered a fine example of wooden architecture. The facade was painted red (later blue), and the pale window surrounds stand out against it. All the carving was done by hand. The delicate details look as if they were cut from fabric rather than wood.
