In the very center of the Gulf of Finland, the island of Gogland stands as an isolated granite fortress. Stretching for 11 kilometers in length, it looks like a giant tanker frozen between the shores of Estonia and Finland. Right at the very sea border of the Russian Federation. Over the past century, Gogland has repeatedly changed hands. And it was sometimes inhabited, sometimes abandoned, sometimes a secluded paradise, sometimes a harsh and inaccessible rock. And now, after a short tourist thaw, Gogland has again become a territory closed to strangers. Where only the military, border guards and a few civilians live. Who, stuck between two European shores, renounced the delights of the big and bright world. In favor of the gloomy rocks of the westernmost inhabited island of Russia. *** Subscribe to CURRENT TIME.DOC - / currenttimedoc
