Smolensk–Moscow Upland, Terminal moraine landform in western Russia.

The Smolensk-Moscow Upland extends 420 miles across the Russian Plain, reaching elevations of 1,050 feet with limestone formations and glacial deposits.

The upland region marked a critical passage for Napoleon's army during the 1812 campaign, leading to significant military confrontations along its rolling terrain.

The elevated landscape contains numerous archaeological sites revealing evidence of early human settlements and ancient trade routes between major river systems.

The region maintains strong agricultural activities, with specific focus on flax cultivation, potato farming, and dairy production across its fertile territories.

The geological formation divides three major river basins: the Dnieper, Volga, and Western Dvina, creating a natural network of water connections.
