Karelian Isthmus located inPriozersk District ofLeningrad Oblast ,Russia . It is a part of theVuoksi River basin, constituting its southern armlet, and drained byBurnaya River .Originally waters of Lake Suvanto (Lake Sukhodolskoye) quietly flowed into Vuoksi through a waterway at
Kiviniemi . However, in 1818 the channel that had been dug to drain spring flood waters from Suvanto intoLake Ladoga unexpectedly turned into Taipaleenjoki (Burnaya River), which started draining Suvanto and decreased its level by 7 m. The Kiviniemi waterway dried out. In 1857 the channel was dug there, but the stream reversed direction, revealedrapids and rendered navigation at Kiviniemi impossible. Since 1857 Lake Sukhodolskoye and Burnaya River have constituted the southern armlet of Vuoksi River, which has decreased the level of the original northern armlet flowing throughPriozersk by 4 m.
