MOLODEZHNOE (until 1948 Yammelyeki), formerly a settlement, from 1998 was attributed the status of a municipal formation within Kurortny District of St. Petersburg, and is located in a resort zone on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland. In the early 20th century a so-called professors' corner emerged here being at various times the favourite retreat of D. I. Mendeleev, I. P. Pavlov, V. M. Bekhterev and other prominent persons. The summer cottage of the famous writer L. N. Andreev was situated here. In 1918-40, the territory belonged to Finland. In 2001 the population totalled over 1,500 inhabitants. Molodezhnoe accommodates Chernaya Rechka Health Resort, Pedagog Holiday Hotel, Molodezhnoe Recreation Camp, the Teatralny Vacation and Recreation Centre, and others.
