Scanery_summer_Volga - a photo on Flickriver

            Summer nature in the town of Konakovo near Moscow on the Volga River.
The largest and most full-flowing European river has many admirers: Nekrasov and Yevtushenko dedicated poems to it, Repin and Savrasov depicted it on their canvases, films were made about the Volga, and songs were written.

The Volga River flows from northwest to southeast, passes through 15 regions of Russia and flows into the Caspian Sea. High shores alternate with cozy sandy beaches. The forests hugging the channel give way to wide expanses of the steppe.
The length of the Volga is 3530 kilometers. Before the construction of reservoirs, it was even more - 3690 kilometers.

Even the Persians, led by King Darius, went on campaigns along the Volga against the Scythian tribes. In the treatises of the ancient Greek philosopher Herodotus, the river is called the Oar. It is believed that this is one of the first mentions of the Volga, made back in the 5th century BC.
The Volga had a lot of names. The ancient Romans called her Ra, which means "generous." Arab peoples Atelyu - "the river of all rivers." Turkic tribes - Itil, which simply means "river". Until now, this name has been preserved among some peoples. And the modern name of the great Russian river came from the Old Slavonic word "vlga", which means "moisture".

At all times, the Volga watered and fed people, was the main thoroughfare, a place of rest. But not infrequently, spring floods on the Volga brought destruction to entire villages. It was possible to tame her temper by creating a system of reservoirs with hydroelectric power stations. There are nine in total.
