Cultural and Historic Ensemble of the Solovetsky Islands

Solovetsky Islands: 134 sq mi, 860 pop. & 6 islands in the White Sea. The Solovetsky Monastery, in 1923, deceptively beautiful, became the site of the first Gulag establishment while Lenin was still in power & closed in 1939. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. #oneminuteislands pic.twitter.com/pjDRnE6uy4
