Volga. The History of Russia's Main River

Volga. The History of Russia's Main River

The Volga needs no introduction. But if a reminder is necessary, here is just a bit of what is inextricably linked to it and Russia: - History: from the Khazars and the Golden Horde to the campaigns of Ivan the... Terrible and the Battle of Stalingrad. From the peasant uprisings of Razin and Pugachev to the Civil War and the deportation of peoples. - Economy: from the Nizhny Novgorod Fair to the Astrakhan trading yards of Armenians, Persians, and Indians. - Technology: from barge haulers and steamships to the cascade of hydropower plants. Almost everyone has their own associations with the Volga, but whatever they may be, it is one of those symbols of the country without which Russia is absolutely unimaginable.
