General information
In the pre-Petrine and Petrine times, it was called Lososinitsa .
The source is Lake Lososinoe , the mouth is Lake Onega . It flows through the Prionezhsky district and the city of Petrozavodsk .
Until the 19th century, the part of the river from its source to its confluence with the Mashezerka River was called the Lososinsky River , the rest, as today, was called the Lososinka.
On August 29, 1703, at the mouth of Lososinka, by the decree of the Emperor Peter the Great , the Shuisk arms factory was founded (from 1704 - Petrovsky ), from whose appearance the history of Petrozavodsk - the capital of the Republic of Karelia - is counted.
In the 18th century, a smelter and factories of Barall and Shannonia were located on the shores of Lososinka. The river within the boundaries of Petrozavodsk was blocked by several dams. In 1800, a major flood of the river left a huge ravine in the city limits - the “Hole”, which has survived to this day [3] .
In the XIX century, on the left bank of Lososinka, the Drevlyansky garden of the bishop's dacha was located - a resting place for citizens. Next to it was a milling water-grinding mill owned by Lieutenant General R.A. Armstrong , and since 1875 the tradesman Korytov. In 1886, on the Lososinka merchant A.E. Pimenov created a dam for the mill [4] . In 1889, a sawmill and mill of the merchant M. N. Pikin appeared near the mouth of the river [5]
In October 1910, at the mouth of Lososinka, the first municipal hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 240 kilowatts was put into operation, powered by the energy of water falling from the constructed dam [6] .
On June 7, 1915, the board of the Olonets District of the Imperial Russian Society for Rescue on Waters opened a paid public beach on a public pond at the dam of a public station on the Lososinka River. Entrance to the baths was charged 5 kopecks. from an adult and 3 kopecks. from a child of school age [7] . Currently, one of the unofficial city beaches is located in the Lososinka floodplain.
On the left bank of the river in the center of Petrozavodsk there are city stadiums - Yunost and Spartak .
