At a height of 230 feet (70 m) it is the eighth tallest "traditional" lighthouse in the world.[3] It is a slightly shorter twin of Storozhenskiy Light.
The lighthouse has served as an important landmark in the Road of Life during the Siege of Leningrad (September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944).[4]
The former lightkeeper, Sergey Shulyatev, has had this position since 1987 to 2010, being then the oldest lighthouse keeper in Russia.[5]

El faro Osinovetsky[1] (en ruso:Осиновецкий маяк) es un faro activo de Rusia en el lago Ladoga, en el óblast de Leningrado. Está situado en un promontorio cerca de la esquina suroeste del lago, cerca de Kokorevo. El faro marca el lado oeste de la entrada a la bahía al sur del lago, lo que lleva a la entrada del río Neva.
