Employees of the Department of Internal Affairs established their own special prize – a soccer ball, the winner of which was Ksenia Nelepenko, a student of secondary school number 2 of the city of Olonets.
We remind you that Olonets is a city in the Republic of Karelia of the Russian Federation, one of the oldest in northern Russia. The administrative center of the Olonetsky national district and the Olonetsky urban settlement.
The city is located at the confluence of the Olonka and Megrega rivers, on the Olonets Plain, 140 km southwest of Petrozavodsk, the administrative center of the Olonets national region of the Republic of Karelia.
Olonets is the oldest name of Karelia found in written monuments. Olonets was first mentioned in the Novgorod Charter by Prince Svyatoslav Olgovich in 1137. In the Novgorod Chronicle (1228), the toponym is used in the form Olons: “And we eat in the breeze, they fought for the lake near the lake in Isadekh and Olons”. The Gothic historian Jordanes mentions Thiudos Inaunixis, which can be deciphered as “chud in Olonets.”
Archaeologists date the sites of ancient people discovered in the lower reaches of the Olonka River (the basin of Lake Ladoga) to between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC. my.
