Borzya, Railway town in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia.

The city stretches along the Borzya River at an elevation of 690 meters, situated 349 kilometers southeast of Chita near the Mongolian border.

The settlement emerged in 1899 during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and received official town status in 1950 after changing its name from Suvorovsky.

The population of Borzya maintains connections with both Russian and Mongolian traditions due to its location near the border between the two nations.

The Kharanor brown coal mine northwest of the town supplies fuel for power generation while railway workshops provide employment opportunities for local residents.

The city functions as a strategic transport point where the Trans-Siberian Railway connects with routes leading to Mongolia and China.
