Olonets (Russian: Оло́нец; Karelian: Anus, Anuksenlinnu; Finnish: Aunus, Aunuksenlinna or Aunuksenkaupunki) is a town and the administrative center of Olonetsky District of the Republic of Karelia, Russia, located on the Olonka River to the east from Lake Ladoga. Population: 9,056 (2010 Census); 10,240 (2002 Census); 11,888 (1989 Census).
Olonets is the oldest documented settlement in Karelia, mentioned by Novgorodian sources as early as 1137. Its history is obscure until 1649, when a fortress was built there to protect the Grand Duchy of Moscow against the Swedes. The same year it was granted town privileges. Until the Great Northern War, Olonets developed as a principal market for Russian trade with Sweden. To the south from the town, there sprawled a belt of fortified abbeys, of which the Alexander-Svirsky Monastery was the most important.
In the 18th century, Olonets' importance shifted from trade to ironworking industries. In 1773, it was made the seat of Olonets Governorate. Eleven years later, however, the seat was moved to Petrozavodsk and Olonets started to decline.

Rack of lamb of God
We serve you instead in a bed
That's sweet to sleep forever
In outer space
Track saquatches
Through the snowy climbs of Canada
Are you an upright bear?
Are you even there?
Do you exist?
So sexy
So cold
So british
Try like hell
Explore anew in the carousel
Things don't change
Things don't change
Love everyone
As long as everyone's to blame
Space space space is the place
And the sun is fun fun fun
Severed body won't run
So take your sweet time
Frozen heads up in outer space
In a box
They crash back to earth
Crash back to earth
and they've brought
back with moon rocks
I think I spotted a yeti
Yet I didn't die
I'm not sure
Was it fur?
Was it alive?
They're coming home
But, my how the tundra has grown
Since you've been gone
Everyone's gone
Bye x 60
Rack of lamb of God
We serve you instead outta' bed
That's sweet to sleep forever
It's sweet to sleep forever
Except in outer space
Track saquatches
Through the snowy climbs of Canada
Are you an upright bear?
Are you even there?
Do you exist?
