Staraya Ladoga (Russian: Стaрая Лaдога); Finnish: Vanha Laatokka or the Aldeigjuborg of Norse sagas, is a rural locality (a selo) in Volkhovsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Volkhov River near Lake Ladoga, 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) north of the town of Volkhov, the administrative center of the district.
It used to be a prosperous trading outpost in the 8th and 9th centuries. A multi-ethnic settlement, it was dominated by Scandinavians who were called by the name of Rus'. For that reason, it is sometimes called the first capital of Russia, though back then Russia didn't exist for many centuries to come.
Dendrochronology suggests that Ladoga was founded in 753. Until 950, it was one of the most important trading ports of Eastern Europe. Merchant vessels sailed from the Baltic Sea through Ladoga to Novgorod and then to Constantinople or the Caspian Sea. This route is known as the trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks. An alternative way led down the Volga River along the Volga trade route to the Khazar capital of Atil, and then to the southern shores of the Caspian Sea, all the way to Baghdad. Tellingly, the oldest Arabian Middle Age coin in Europe was unearthed in Ladoga.
The original inhabitants of the settlement were Norsemen. The original Finnish name, Alode-joki (i.e., "lowland river"), was rendered as Aldeigja in Norse language and later as Ladoga in Old East Slavic. Staraya is Russian for "Old".

Alexander Alexandrovsky, a contemporary Russian painter, has been a member of the Russian Union of Artists since 1996. His artistic journey began in the 1970s, shaped by private lessons with the talented drawing artist V. Stetsenko, a student of the national artist of USSR V. Oreshnikov. Alexandrovsky's solid educational foundation includes mentorship from the national artist of Russia V. Reikhet and the national artist of the USSR, Professor B. Ugarov, who also held the title of a shock worker of Communist labor in Soviet times.
Influenced by the renowned Russian artist K. Korovin and inspired by the works of Edouard Manet exhibited at the Hermitage in 1972, Alexandrovsky entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Art named after I. Repin in 1983. Under the guidance of Professor B. Ugarov and national artist V. Reikhet, Alexandrovsky's artistic style flourished, encompassing various genres such as portraiture, landscape, still life, and genre painting.
His paintings reflect a distinctive author's style, with a profound philosophical element that explores constant spiritual inquiry. Alexandrovsky actively participates in the "Holy Lands" art project and is a member of the "Enchanted Pilgrim" art group under the patronage of the Union of Artists. This group embarks on annual journeys to explore old and nearly abandoned towns in Russia, capturing the essence and traditions of these remote places in their artwork.
The oeuvre of Alexandrovsky, marked by realism and a continuous expansion of artistic boundaries, is showcased in private collections worldwide, including Russia and China.
