How far from the Baltic Sea is Koporye located?
Koporye Koporye (Russian: Копорье ; Finnish: "Kaprio"; Swedish: "Koporje" ) is a historic village ("selo") in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located about 100 km to the west of St. Petersburg and 12 km south of the Koporye Bay of the Baltic Sea.

Gulf of Finland The Gulf of Finland (Finnish: "Suomenlahti" ; Estonian: "Soome laht" ; Russian: Фи́нский зали́в , "Finskiy zaliv"; ] ; Swedish: "Finska viken" ) is the easternmost arm of the Baltic Sea. It extends between Finland (to the north) and Estonia (to the south) all the way to Saint Petersburg in Russia, where the river Neva drains into it. Other major cities around the gulf include Helsinki and Tallinn. The eastern parts of the Gulf of Finland belong to Russia, and some of Russia's most important oil harbours are located farthest in, near Saint Petersburg (including Primorsk). As the seaway to Saint Petersburg, the Gulf of Finland has been and continues to be of considerable strategic importance to Russia. Some of the environmental problems affecting the Baltic Sea are at their most pronounced in the shallow gulf.
