We travel along the Volga

The Volga River is the largest and most abundant river in the Russian Plain and the longest river in Europe. On the Valdai Upland, at an altitude of 256 meters above the level of the Caspian Sea, the Volga begins its long journey.
The Volga has a very rich history. Many important political events are inextricably linked with it. The economic importance of the water flow is also disproportionate. It is the most important artery that unites many regions into a single whole. The largest industrial and administrative centers are located on its banks. There are as many as four millionaire cities alone. These are Kazan, Volgograd, Samara and Nizhny Novgorod. Therefore, the mighty waters are rightfully called the great Russian river.
