Pitkäranta District, Administrative district in Republic of Karelia, Russia.
The Pitkyarantsky District spans 2,300 square kilometers in southwestern Republic of Karelia, featuring numerous lakes and dense forest territories along Lake Ladoga.
The district was formally established on July 9, 1940, following the Moscow Peace Treaty that transferred the territory from Finland to the Soviet Union.
The Cross of Sorrow memorial stands at the Pitkyaranta-Suoyarvi-Petrozavodsk crossroads, commemorating soldiers from the Winter War of 1939-1940.
The district contains one main town, Pitkyaranta, and thirty-five rural locations, with a population density of 8.7 people per square kilometer.
The region maintains active connections with Finland through its twin city relationship between Pitkyaranta and Kuopio, reflecting its cross-border heritage.
