Syasstroy (Russian: Сясьстрóй) is a town in Volkhovsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located near the mouth of the Syas River, at the confluence of the Valgonka and Syas Rivers, close to Lake Ladoga, 140 kilometers (87 mi) east of St. Petersburg. Population: 13,745 (2010 Census);[3] 13,969 (2002 Census);[5] 16,122 (1989 Census).[6]
History
Before 1926, a small village of Nosok (Носок) existed at this location. An urban-type settlement was founded in 1926, as construction of pulp-and-paper mill started. At the time, it belonged to Volkhovsky Uyezd of Leningrad Governorate. On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Volkhovsky District was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[7] On March 20, 1946, Novoladozhsky District with the administrative center located in Novaya Ladoga was split off Volkhovsky District, and Syasastory became a part of this district. On February 1, 1963 Novoladozhsky District was abolished and merged into Volkhovsky District.[7]
Syasstroy was granted town status in 1992.
Administrative and municipal status
Syasstroy administratively belongs to Volkhovsky District.[1] Municipally, Syasstroy is incorporated within Volkhovsky Municipal District as Syasstroyskoye Urban Settlement.[2]
Economy
Industry
The economy of Syasstroy is dependent on just one enterprise, the paper mill, which makes it potentially very vulnerable to economic crises.[8]
Transportation
The M18 highway, connecting Saint Petersburg and Murmansk, passes through Syasstroy. A road is located Syasstroy with Kolchanovo, on the highway heading to Vologda via Tikhvin and Cherepovets.
The railroad connecting Saint Petersburg and Murmansk runs several kilometers east of Syasstroy. The closest stations are Lungachi and Kolchanovo.
In the beginning of the 19th century, a system of canals bypassing Lake Ladoga were built, which at the time were a part of Mariinsky Water System, connecting the Neva River and the Volga River. In particular, the Syas Canal connects the Syas and the Volkhov, and the Svir Canal connects the Syas and the Svir. The canals collectively are known as the Ladoga Canal.
Culture and recreation
The district contains one cultural heritage monument of federal significance and additionally three objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local significance.[9] The federal monument is the tomb of the author Sergey Semyonov, who died in 1942 in Syasstroy Military Hospital from pneumonia. The local monuments are two tombs of soldiers fallen during World War II, and a house where Sergey Kirov stayed when he visited the construction place of the paper mill.
