Krasny Bor Forest, Karelia

Russia

Krasny Bor (lit. 'Red Pine-forest') is a wooded area, not far from Petrozavodsk, the capital of Karelia, in northwestern Russia. The Karelian instance of this common Russian toponym has become widely known, thanks to the efforts of Yury A. Dmitriev, as The Forest, Red with Spilled Blood, one of Stalin's killing fields of the late 1930s.
