Sunset on the Volga. Uglich city.
Volga is a river in the European part of Russia, one of the largest rivers in the world and the largest in Europe. The length of the river is 3530 kilometers (3690 kilometers before the construction of reservoirs).
Since the late 30s of the XX century, the Volga began to be used as a source of hydropower. Currently, about 45% of the industrial and about 50% of the agricultural production of the Russian Federation is concentrated in the Volga basin. The Volga accounts for more than 20% of all fish caught in the rivers of the country. 9 reservoirs with hydroelectric power stations were built on the river.
Volga is connected to the Baltic Sea by the Volga-Baltic Waterway; with the White Sea - through the White Sea-Baltic Canal and the Severodvinsk system; with the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea - through the Volga-Don Canal. An important role is played by the Moscow Canal, connecting the Volga with Moscow and created for the purposes of shipping, water supply of the capital and the irrigation of the Moscow river.
