Imeni Morozova, Urban settlement near Lake Ladoga, Russia.
Imeni Morozova is an urban-type settlement situated on the right bank of the Neva River, featuring both residential neighborhoods and industrial zones. Local roads connect these different areas into a functioning community.
The settlement was founded in 1884 as an industrial hub centered around a gunpowder factory. It was renamed in 1922 to honor the revolutionary figure Nikolai Morosow.
The Peter-Pauls Church, rebuilt in 1993, serves as the spiritual center of the community and reflects local religious traditions. Its neighboring caretaker's house from 1910 represents the architectural style of an earlier era.
Two railway stations provide regular suburban train connections to Saint Petersburg's Finland Station, making it easy to reach the city. The journey takes about an hour and serves as the main link to the larger urban area.
During the Leningrad blockade, the settlement became a critical supply hub thanks to a temporary bridge built across the Neva in 1943. This connection was one of the few vital lifelines that kept the besieged city alive.
