The Solovetsky Islands, or Solovki, are an archipelago located in the Onega Bay of the White Sea, Russia. The islands are served by the Solovki Airport.
As an administrative division, the islands are incorporated as Solovetsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.[1] Within the framework of municipal divisions, they are incorporated as Solovetskoye Rural Settlement within Primorsky Municipal District.[2] The administrative center of both divisions is the settlement of Solovetsky, located on Bolshoy Solovetsky Island. Almost all of the population of the islands lives in Solovetsky. As of the 2010 Census, the population of the district was 861 inhabitants.
Solovetsky Monastery was the greatest citadel of Christianity in the Russian North before being turned into a special Soviet prison and labor camp (1926–1939), which served as a prototype for the Gulag system. Situated on the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea, the monastery braved many changes of fortune and military sieges. Its most important structures date from the 16th century, when Filip Kolychev was its hegumen.

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.
