Winter warfare - Great Northern War Style

On 21 March 1710, the corps f.m. apraksina came out from the island of Kotlin island and the ice has moved to the north shore of the gulf of Finland, cutting off Vyborg from Finland. This was the beginning of the siege of Vyborg 1710 years, ending of this town.
This weekend we've been in the area of the withdrawal of Russian troops on the shore, and then held a lecture in Vyborgskom castle.
