Together with a professional guide, Nadezhda Alekseevna Palchenkova, we looked at the museum's exposition, which includes documents revealing the history of Ladoga before the outbreak of World War II, as well as the blockade of Leningrad, the first and second military navigations, the creation of an ice road and its defense, the laying of a pipeline and an electric cable along the bottom of Lake Ladoga, and the actions of the Ladoga flotilla. Nadezhda Alekseevna shared unique information about the exploits of our soldiers; the presentation of the guide's information, filled with patriotism and sincerity, did not leave any of the tourists indifferent!
