 By clicking on the image you can see what Vyborg looked like from the castle tower in 1991. The Old Town was originally surrounded by walls. You can see Patterimäki in the backround. That is where the road to St. Petersburg - and to the vast land of Russia - starts.

It is a mystical detail that the time span from the Vyborg Explosion on November 30, 1495, to the outbreak of the Winter War in 1939 is exactly 444 years.
In 1991 I made a documentary film called "My
