Vysotsk, Port town in Leningrad Oblast, Russia

Located on the eastern shore of Vyborg Bay, Vysotsk operates with five berths managing commercial vessels and serves as a strategic Baltic Fleet base point.

The settlement began as Trångsund Fortress, constructed under Peter the Great's orders in the early 1700s after Russia captured the area from Sweden.

The town received its current name in 1948 to honor Kuzma Demidovich Vysotsky, a Soviet machine gunner who died during the Winter War in 1940.

The port enforces ice navigation restrictions from December through winter, requiring non-ice class vessels to receive assistance from icebreakers for safe passage.

Alexander Popov conducted fundamental radio experiments in Vysotsk during 1897 and 1902, establishing the location's role in early wireless communication development.
