The cultural landscape from the national park in the Russian North has become the 33rd World Heritage site in Russia. Kenozero National Park is a natural and historical-cultural complex in the northwest of the European part of Russia, in the Arkhangelsk region. It is not only interesting for its pristine forests and crystal-clear lakes but also for its historical environment, which has preserved artifacts from the centuries-old culture of the Russian North. Here, traces of the indigenous Finno-Ugric peoples can be found, along with a cultural landscape created by Slavic tribes who began settling these lands in the 12th century. It is believed that these places are unique in combining the landownership and resource-use traditions of both cultures: Finno-Ugric forestry and Slavic agriculture. The main attraction of Kenozero is several villages with authentic monuments of Russian wooden architecture from the 16th-17th centuries. The tent-roofed churches here amaze with their beauty and have preserved unique frescoes. In 2004, Kenozero was included in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, becoming a specially protected area. Kenozero had been a candidate for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage recognition for 10 years, and finally, this joyful decision has been made.
