Volga, River system in Central Russia.
The Volga flows through fifteen regions from Tver Oblast to Astrakhan Oblast, connecting major cities across 3,530 kilometers of Russian territory.
During medieval times, the Volga River established trade connections between northern Europe and the Caspian Sea, enabling merchants to transport goods between distant regions.
Russian literature and songs refer to the Volga as Mother River, representing national identity through generations of inhabitants along its extensive path.
The river network includes reservoirs and hydroelectric stations that generate power for millions of residents while supporting commercial fishing and transportation activities.
The Volga forms part of Europe's largest river system, containing over 151,000 kilometers of waterways and connecting five different seas through natural channels.
