On February 9th, KarRC RAS President Olga Bakhmet met with representatives of the Republic of Karelia Ministry of Culture and Head of the Petrozavodsk Branch Office of the Karelia Cross-border Cooperation Programme Dmitry Bazegsky to discuss the implementation of the international project “Ordinary Man in a Great War”, in which KarRC RAS is the Lead Partner. Special focus was on the scientific concept of the new museum exhibition at the Kalevalatalo Ethnocultural Centre to be created in the fall. In this important component of the project, RK Ministry of Culture will provide expertise and advice to KarRC RAS, and help with selecting the exhibits.
In the coming year and a half, the project will produce war-history museum exhibitions in Kalevala and Voknavolok, reconstruct war-history heritage sites in the Kalevalsky District, and create a new historical tour incorporating several border municipalities of Russian Karelia and Finland.

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.
