Russia

Les îles Solovki (en russe : Солове́цкие острова́), connues également sous les noms de Solovetski ou Solovetsk, forment un archipel au nord-ouest de la Russie dans la mer Blanche. Situées dans la baie d'Onega, les îles sont administrées par l'oblast d'Arkhangelsk. Leur superficie totale est de 347 km2 pour une population de 968 habitants en 2002. L'archipel comprend six îles dont les plus grandes sont Solovetski, Anzerski, Bolchaïa Mouksalma et Malaïa Mouksalma. L'archipel est célèbre pour le monastère Solovetski du xve siècle et son ancien camp de travail soviétique, précurseur de l'organisation du Goulag.

En 1974, les îles sont devenues une réserve naturelle protégée : l'archipel, son patrimoine architectural comme son histoire qui en fait un lieu de mémoire privilégié de la Terreur stalinienne, sont l'un des premiers sites russes à être inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1992.
