Popis: The paper analyzed recent vertical crustal movements and compared them with Late Holocene ones (over several thousands of years) with the case study of the transition zone between the Fennoscandia shield and the Russian plate. The study of recent and young movements is based on long-term sea level and repeated geodetic measurements and on geologic geomorphic data, respectively. The data set makes it possible to establish that a weak uplift of the territory gives way with regularity to a weak subsidence after going across the zone of zero movements that agrees with the modern geodynamic constructions and can serve as the basis of long-term prognostic estimations. The results are compared with the newest GPS measurements and with the theoretical model of viscoelastic deformations in the periphery of the past glaciation area during its postglacial isostatic adjustment
