Island light on Lake Onega
On Ostrov Vasilisin in Maloye Onego Bay, an abandoned lighthouse was known to yachtsmen. The island once hosted a meteo station and even had a postal index before the station closed.
Documented
Striped wood tower
Archive records describe a four-stage square wooden tower, 24 m high, with black-and-white vertical stripes, a lantern, and gallery. Focal plane 33 m; visibility 8 miles.
Documented
Keeper's mark inside
Inside the tower, a painted inscription records maintenance on 8 August 1963 by the steamship I. Bering — a dated trace of care inside an already abandoned structure.
Unknown
Ground fire
Archive articles agree that a ground fire on the island destroyed the lighthouse. Sources differ on timing — approximately 2011–2012 versus 2014 — and the exact year remains open in Research mode.
Interpretive
A name, a daughter, a dream
Vasily and his wife had visited the lighthouse years before their daughter Vasilisa was born in 2013 — the same period when the tower burned. The shared name drew the family toward restoring the light; the dream remains unrealized.
Documented
Models and memory
The Mayachnik project built accurate 1:200 and 1:100 models, produced a video walkthrough, and showed the lighthouse at the 2016 Lighthouse Festival in Petropavlovka — carrying what the tower no longer can.
