Pukalusjärvi ( Fin. Pukalusjärvi ) - a lake on the border of Russia and Finland . The Russian part is located in the Vyborg district of the Leningrad region . The state border divides the lake almost exactly in half. 2 km south of the border the lake is crossed by Russian engineering wire fences that have remained since the Cold War , so only one third of the lake is accessible for tourists from the Russian side, south of the fences.
