PRILADOZHSKY, an urban settlement in Kirovsk District. Population: 5,200. The settlement’s name is related to its situation south of the Lake Ladoga coast. P. is in the center of the district, close to the Murmansk Highway, 27 km away from Zhikharevo railway station on the St. Petersburg-Volkhovstroy line. The settlement appeared due to the construction of the Sinyavino poultry production unit. In 1982 it received the status of a workers’ settlement. It was developed mostly in the 1970s-1980s, with multi-storied prefabricated houses. P. has a culture center, library, and children’s school of music.
