 Dear colleagues, I'm very glad to be here, to participate in the conference in such a beautiful city as Barcelona. And I would like in my paper to summarize some recent information of the most important issues of study, preservation and use of the Karelian erocat. Petrogris of Karelia are an important part of the North and North Korean prehistoric erocat. There are two large clusters in Karelia, one of them on the eastern shore of the Niga lake and the second in the Arctic subarctic zone in the delta of the weak river close to the city of Bielomorsk. These petrogris are very remarkable samples of Neolithic erocats. Such sites have always been under the scrutiny of scientists and amateurs since their discovery. The Niga long gardens were first discovered in 1842 and this September we are celebrating the 170th anniversary. Petrogris of Karelia are always located very close to the water. The sites have been preserved in a non-disturbed environment, which is similar to how it was when they were carved. And the level of preservation of the erocat itself is very nice. At least it exceeds all known erocat summits in the North and Finlandskardia in this relation. One of the central erocat panels on the eastern shore of the Niga lake is a famous base of the North, that means the Demonscape. And we have more than 200 carvings on the top of this age. The main motifs are birds, swans, even very big ones. Some petrogris are located on the very scenic caves and in six cases there are on the islands, many small islands. There is a big guri island with two erocat locations and you see that ancient artists quite often used some features of the erocat surface. The granite of the Niga lake is red, more or less reddish or often as they are gray. In this case we see gray spots, so-called sexyonolids, and people use this, maybe like a canvas. In the recent time we could discover some erocat panels on the bottom of the lake close to the practically close besides every caves with petrogris. One of the recent discoveries that was because of the broken process, because of the ice and water and some panels, some parts of fragments of stones encroached on the bottom. And we tried to study them with the help of volunteers from St. Petersburg. Totally we managed to discover about 20 petrogris and their mainly swans again. As I say, main motifs are swans. They are both realistic and fantastic. And the biggest swan figure is four meters inland. The other, the second popular motif in Niga erocarians are so-called solar and lunar signs. There are big discussions so far, people's researches don't know the exact meaning of these mysterious images. But our observations show that practically all these signs have a kind of rims. It may be one, two, three, and sometimes a very complicated shape, and most of them are oriented into western or eastern direction. So it really could be a solar and lunar sign. Anthropomorphic figures also are among predominant erocate motifs. The most famous anthropomorphic figure over the 25th half-metre in size is called Bes. And it gives the name for the cape, Besov. No, Besov Cape. In the 16th century, the monks of nearby monastery carved orthodox cross on this partly covered in this fantastic figure. White petroglyph landscape, the white petroglyphs are to the north 300 kilometers and the landscape is quite different. The main site there is Lavrukoe, is the largest rock cut in the European part of Russia and carved about 2,000 separate carvings in this area. The size of area is about one hectare. And this is accepted to be the most impressive, accessible, and the most important site among the Carvelian petroglyphs. Here you have some famous motifs, complex narrative compositions of this Lavrukoe site. White petroglyphs are known since 1926 and the ease of travel and high level of visitation to these petroglyphs make them extremely attractive for safe and sustainable tourism. The narrative petroglyph panels in many individual figures showing a chain of events are very rare among the rock carvings in northern Finland and even wider. The active research into Carvelian rock cut was continued in the end of 90s, the most terrible years in Russia. But at that time we got very big assistance and financial support from Norway and from Cambridge University also since 1997. Multidisciplinary monitoring has been carried out on the Etai rock cut areas and later collaborative projects between research teams from Russia and Cambridge University led by Liliana Yannick. And from Norway, Hirskok was the main participant in all our investigations. Later in 2013-2014 there was a Russian-finished BIO-ACPC project, rock cut bridge. It was a cooperation with Finland and this project contributed very much in creation of some tourist infrastructures in the Lavrukoe area. Of course there is a dissemination of knowledge about this side of the local population in Russia and Finland. In recent time we tried to attract to our work on rock cut local population and volunteers from all Russia. And these are some examples of how the Lavrukoe is cleaning by locals of children and volunteers from Moscow. The matter is that these big areas are very often a lot of bushes most and especially liking different kind of liking. And we have to periodically to clean this area and made it visible for visitors. Fresh Russian project, documented of Karelian rock cut sites, was in progress during 2016 and 2017. And new method of rubbing was proposed by famous Karelian artist Svetlana Giodivskaya who started doing rubbings on microland paper since 2006. And the last two years she decided to use for that a special rice Chinese paper. She usually uses black paper and it's very good for wheeling poles shape and in turn baking of the image. And of course all these rubbings are very popular in the museum exhibitions. And this October she is going to present the results of her work in South Korea in this symposium devoted to the rock cut. I could tell a lot about our recent activities which could protect to some extent our sites, both Anigaleic, Petroglyeus and the White Sea areas. But to be in short I should say that Petroglyeus of Anigaleic and the White Sea area are one of the most famous cultural and tourist brands in Karelian. But they have not yet become a real value for local society. And now our task was to involve them in understanding the importance of this cultural resource. Now an important task is to create an open air museum on the both of rock cut areas. And of course the problem of conservation is still despite of the relatively high preservation degree minor impact of natural and anthropogenic factors Petroglyeus of Karelia are caused by slow weathering like water, ice, etc. and need to be sustainably protected and properly managed. The true preservation of rock cut for future generations requires a whole complex of serious measures from the state involving other stakeholders, individuals and sufficient funding. I would like to add that in June this year we had an international conference devoted to the rock cut as a world heritage resource. And 40 participants from different countries participated in this conference and we decided that Petroglyeus of Karelia are willing to be included in the UNESCO Heritage List and now we started preparing this nomination for the tentative list of UNESCO. Of course we are facing some difficulties when we write this nomination and especially in terms of competitive analysis and how to prove to explain the outstanding value the national value of this resource. And once more I would like to say that lately they have published several liturgy about Karelia rock cut with my monograph Petroglyeus of Vanneke Lake. The second with my Koordic philato I devoted to the other archaeological sites in the vicinity of Vanneke rock carvings and several guide books. And I have with me a guide book for Zalabuga in English and those who want to may take them. Thank you.
