In the Karelian city of Belomorsk there are "Demon Sledki". A similar name was given to ancient rock paintings, which are also called petroglyphs. To protect this ancient art, a special building was erected in 1968. It was only after 31 years that it became unusable and was closed due to an emergency condition.

The new structure, which will protect the ancient rock paintings, is planned to be erected as soon as possible - by the end of September 2018. The construction of a new pavilion is taking place within the framework of events that are carried out on the eve of the celebration of the centenary of Karelia. All this became known from Nikolai Patrushev, who was assigned to head the State Commission responsible for preparing for the solemn event.

The State Commission initiated all preparatory work before the start of reconstruction, archaeological work designed to create ideal conditions for the construction of a new pavilion. Also, this commission is responsible for the development of infrastructure near the "Besovy sledki" and the improvement of the territory adjacent to the complex.

Funds for all these works were attracted under the cross-border cooperation program. After all construction and landscaping works, the ancient cave paintings should attract the attention of a large number of tourists. The construction of the pavilion was divided into several stages. In the spring, specialists began work on the construction of reinforced concrete structures. At the same time, the final works on the development of documentation were carried out.

The rock carvings, called "Demon Tracks", were discovered in 1926 and became part of the White Sea petroglyphs. The group of this rock painting includes 470 figures, which are under state protection, as they are an object of cultural heritage of federal significance. Karelian petroglyphs are examples of monumental primitive art. They are considered the most important ancient historical and cultural sites in Northern Europe. Among all the known rock carvings, the petroglyphs of Karelia are in a special position. Their peculiarity, uniqueness lies in the fact that they differ in plot and versatility.

The Security Council also said that work on the installation of a monument to the Soldier-Liberator was recently completed in Belomorsk. It is located not far from the Karelian Front Museum. Its grand opening is scheduled for the day of the liberation of Karelia from the fascist occupation - on September 30, 2018.
