History

Voznesenye as a single locality exists since the middle of the 19th century, though the area was populated since at least the 17th century, and after the Mariinsky Water System, a predecessor of the Volga–Baltic Waterway, opened in 1852, it started to play an important role. The name, which means Ascencion, originates from the Ascencion Monastery, which existed in the area in the 17th and the 18th centuries. In the same year Voznesenye got the status of a selo.[5] It was a part of Lodeynopolsky Uyezd of Olonets Governorate. In 1922, Olonets Governorate was abolished, and Lodeynopolsky Uyezd was transferred to Petrograd Governorate (later Leningrad Oblast).

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds in Leningrad Oblast were abolished, and Voznesensky District District with the administrative center in Voznesenye was established. It was a part of Lodeynoye Pole Okrug of Leningrad Oblast and included areas formerly belonging to Lodeynopolsky Uyezd. On August 20, 1935 Voznesenye was granted work settlement status. Between September 1941 and June 1944, during World War II, the settlement was occupied by Finnish troops. On July 18, 1944 it was completely destroyed and subsequently rebuilt.[5] On April 3, 1954 Voznesensky District was abolished and merged into Podporozhsky District.[8]

Economy

Industry

Voznesenye contains a saw mill and a ship maintenance facility.[9]

Transportation

The Svir River is navigable and is a part of the Volga–Baltic Waterway, connecting the basins of the Volga and the Neva Rivers. There is regular cruise and cargo traffic along the waterway. The Onega Canal, which bypasses Lake Onega along the southern shore and connects the Svir River and the Vytegra River, has its western end at Voznesenye.

Voznesenye is located on the road connecting Oshtinsky Pogost, just behind the border of Leningrad Oblast, and Petrozavodsk, along the shore of Lake Onega. The road crosses the Svir in Voznesenye by a ferry.

Culture and recreation

There are three recognized cultural heritage monuments of local significance in Voznesenye. These are the monument constructed in 1852 to commemorate the opening of the Mariinsky Water System, as well as two monuments to soldiers fallen in World War II.[10]
