Smolenka, Urban river in Vasilyevsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Smolenka River flows for 3.7 kilometers through Saint Petersburg, separating Vasilyevsky Island from Decembrists Island before reaching the Gulf of Finland.
Originally named Black River, it received its current name in 1864 due to the nearby settlement of craftsmen from the Smolensk region during Saint Petersburg's construction.
The river borders the Smolensk Orthodox Cemetery, established in 1756, which holds numerous graves of notable Russian artists, scientists, and military figures.
Five bridges span across the Smolenka River, including the Korablestroiteley Bridge, Nalichny Bridge, and Smolensky Bridge, connecting both sides of the waterway.
Between 1970 and 1972, engineers modified the river section from KIM Avenue to the Gulf of Finland, straightening and canalizing its course.
