It’s a little distance from the Russian interior. It’s composed of 6 islands of different sizes. The monastery is average, but the souvenirs sold are good and you can buy them as a souvenir.

Solovetsky Monastery Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located along the Bay of Plenty on the main island, the monastery was built in the 15th century and is one of the larger monasteries in the area. The island was designated a National Historic Preserve and Nature Reserve in 1974. After the October Revolution, the monastery was closed and turned into a prison. It was later changed to the Naval Academy. Finally, in 1992, its status as a monastery was restored and it is a world cultural heritage. The monastery has a peaceful environment, giving visitors a sense of being far away from the hustle and bustle. Tourists can go fishing, boating, and cycling here.
