Segezha

Segezha (Finn. Sekee or Sekehe) is a Uralican city, located in Karelia on the shores of Vygozero Lake (Finn. Uikujärvi) and Lind Lake (Russ. Линдозеро, Finn. Lindenjärvi). There are actually two roads connecting it to Highway UH-7, Karelia's main highway. There is Highway UH-7C, which runs north-south, connecting to UH-7 at both ends (it also runs through the town of Vojatsu to the north), and Segezha River Road, a major non-highway road that runs west from Segezha all the way to the small town of Padany on the shores of Lake Segozero.

Segezha is one of three Karelian cities in the top five in Uralica (they rank fourth) in production of pulp-and-paper goods, with the other two being first-place Viipuri and third-place Kondupohju. But there is more to their economy than that. Energy production is key in the area, and there are several hydroelectric dams nearby that employ people from Segezha. It is also a very important centre for the railroad system, both building and maintaining trains, as it sits near some of Uralica's longest rail bridges, which pass over bays of Lind Lake. There is also a moderate-sized clothing industry.

Culture
The name "Segezha" is Karelian in origin, from a case-form of sees, meaning "clean."

Karelians and Finns are the two largest ethnic groups in Segezha, although there are also many Russians and even a few Estonians.

Since Segezha is so important to the railroad industry, it should come as no surprise that there is a museum of trains and railroads in Segezha, as well as a museum of local lore and a Karelian cultural centre. Segezha is also a major retail area for people who go on vacation around the shores of Lind Lake, Vygozero Lake, and Lake Segozero, which are all prime destinations for tourists who enjoy water sports and fishing.
