Paanajärvi AnniAnni from Paanajarvi
Paanajärvi is the only Karelian village in Viena that has preserved its original appearance. But it has been living under a threat for 50 years. During Stalin’s regime, plans were drawn up for building a power plant at the Valkeakoski rapids of the River Kem. The plan, had it been carried out, would have inundated vast areas, including the beautiful Paanajärvi village. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, also the power plant project was interrupted. Now, the village is being restored and revived. But the threat of inundation has not yet subsided.
