At the & nbsp; border of the republic and & nbsp; from the Leningrad region there is a border post and & nbsp; the border guards check the documents there. Why? Karelia is no longer & nbsp; Russia ?
As explained in the & nbsp; administration of & nbsp; g. Sortavala (Karelia), the A-151 motorway (Petersburg-Sortavala) passes to & nbsp; near & nbsp; border with & nbsp; Finland & nbsp; and, therefore, with & nbsp; border area established by order of the FSB of 02.06.2006. Free access to & nbsp; it is forbidden, for the passage or the displacements it is necessary to send a notification to the local authorities or via the site of the public services & nbsp; three days before & nbsp; arrival, otherwise a fine. Local residents and organized tourists are not offenders. And & nbsp; border guards control independent travelers. Only for & nbsp; June such 'events' authorized to detain four illegal immigrants, according to Karelian law enforcement officers.
