Gogland, Baltic island in Kingiseppsky District, Russia.
The 21-square-kilometer island rises 173 meters above the Gulf of Finland, featuring steep cliffs and dense forest covering its granite terrain.
The Swedish-Russian naval battle of 1788 near the island involved 32 warships and resulted in significant losses for both military forces.
The island's name stems from Swedish roots, with variations in Finnish, German, and Russian languages reflecting its complex territorial changes.
Access to the island requires special border permits, and transportation is available through boat services from mainland Russia during summer months.
The island houses two functioning lighthouses and maintains a military heliport established in 2019, marking its enduring strategic position.
