hi straho.peev,
if it wasn't considerably larger than the nearby michahellis this should be a herring gull (larus argentatus) from a very northern origin, possibly the white sea - as it seems to be still in complete juvenile plumage. there is some resemblance with great black-backed gull but head and underparts too well marked, bill not substantial enough and size not much larger than michahellis.

Hello,
I agree with a Herring too.
I would exclude GBBG because of head structure, eye jizz, and too dark on chin, lore, and chest, belive GBBG tend to show (in Nov-Dec) dark on top and back of eye, and a slightly clean chest.
