Derkul, River tributary in Tarasovsky District, Russia.

The Derkul River extends for 163 kilometers through eastern territories, forming a natural border between Russia and Ukraine along its course.

Since 1571, the Derkul River has maintained its position as a significant geographical marker, particularly during the movement of nomadic tribes across the region.

The river banks contain numerous chalk formations that held religious meaning for local populations, particularly during the time of Cossack settlements.

The Derkul River sustains multiple agricultural activities along its banks, with established stud farms utilizing the fertile floodplains since 1766.

The name Derkul originates from Turkic linguistic roots, reflecting the historical presence of Nogai Tatars in this geographical area.
