Olgino. In summer there were many holiday visitors who were attracted by its close proximity to the city, the vicinity of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea, low holiday cottage rates. Ducks were found in littoral rushes, visitors went fishing by dugouts in the Gulf of Finland. They swam from boats, аnd women took place on the beach apart from men.
