The Volkhovriver connect Lake Lagoda and several smaller lakes in the area. Lake Lagoda is the biggest european sweetwater lake. The most popular inhabitans are Lagoda-Seals (Phoca hispida ladogensis), a rare sweetwater seal. Even if the lake is nearly 200 km away, the unnatural warm winter make a "swimmthru" possible. Bye MNSRaptor Hello again :-)

To me it seemed like two individuals. One adult and a juvenile. Maybe we see a Beluga whale mom with her kid? Sturgeons need "warm" sweet water. To me it looks like a bay. The ice has the typical form and color like coast ice in saltwater. Hello,

I think it's a really big sturgeon. It's plainly swimming side to side. I think I could even make out the out line of the tail fin several times as it moved back and forth through the water. Sturgeon have been hugely over fished in Russia so I think they aren't used to seeing them anymore. I’ve watched the video 5 times now and to me it looks like one animal.

And all we get is this 30 second clip? Is there some reason for this, I wonder? I read through the article again and noticed that the thing or things was floating around there for a whole hour.

The other posters have put forth some good ideas, but I just can't seem to make my mind up about it. I looks like it could be more than one creature swimming in unison, I suppose but it is difficult to tell. Has anyone heard of the giant fish that are said to inhabit Lake Illiamna in Alaska? They are said to be some sort of oversized sturgeon or some such fish that occasionally surface and are said to be seasonal inhabitants of the lake. That is the first thing that jumps to mind when I watch this. I don't believe the creature(s) looks fake in any way. I feel this is genuine footage of something living in the water but what? Really some of the more interesting footage to come along in a while but why are these films always so short? Wow, this is a really strange video indeed.

The 'rear' animal is the one that gives it away most for me. I agree that’s three seperate animals, they could even be dolphins filmed somewhere for all we know.

I've seen and studied seals at the zoo and aquariums and on TV etc. and this does not look like them. The lazy way it moves does not resemble the erratic and hyper way seals move. Especially when they are close to the surface, besides; the movement is side to side like a snake, not up and down like seals, otters or beavers etc. The creature looks very large, maybe over 15 feet. I base this on the wave-water rippling size. I've lived by and fished in rivers all my life and know the way they look. The striped yellow to black is a lot like an American alligator, but they wouldn't make it in those cold climbs. Maybe a sturgeon, or maybe the best lake monster footage yet. The photos at the top of article definetly don't look like a seal, a sturgeon or anything. Man!!! Does not look like anything I’ve ever seen, creature moves like a snake or crocodile.

I don't think there are three animals; I think there is one long animal with a lateral tail movement generating momentum. That would be typical of fish and not whales. I agree, the motion looks quite crocodilian, but an eel might also pass. As for seals being 200km upstream... there's no doubting that possibility: they have been found over 1000km upstream in Australia and some argue these explain what the Aboriginal people called "bunyip". Nevertheless, I still think this is a singular animal. It may well be a snake - in which case alternatively an eel. It's bizaare that they had 1 hour to watch it without capturing additional footage, or forming a solid opinion. Chris. Very interesting.

I think whether this object is one, two, or three creatures would be clear if the video was longer. It appears as if some part of the object breaks right, but the cut is too quick.
