And it is set at the farther shore of bay of lake Verhneye Kuytto, supposedly in the place where was lived Vassila Kielevyaynen.
In the south part of the village there is a Chpel, that was built In southern VOINITSEV the chapel, built in 2005 by Finnish friends in honor of the holy martyrs Maccabees and their teacher Eleazar.
For most tourists are interesting old architecture and, of course, nature. On the lake Verhneye Kuytto there are beautiful places to fish and hunt. In the summer and autumn in the forest a lot of mushrooms and berries.
