Waiting for the sunset
Pre-sunset composition on the banks of the Volga River, in the city of Konakovo, Tver Region. Russia.
The feeling of big water in this unique place would be impossible without human intervention. Here, on the border of the Tver and Moscow regions, in 1937, the decision to create the Ivankovskoye reservoir was executed. When the riverbed of the Volga was blocked by a powerful nine-kilometer dam, the land near the water could not recapture either fields, forests or swamps. Hundreds of villages have irrevocably sunk under the water, including the district town of Korcheva, which was once located near the town of Konakovo.
However, the flooding of such a vast territory has objectively given people and local nature more advantages than disadvantages. People began to settle on plots near the water on the Moscow Sea, build summer cottages, and communicate more closely with nature. More than three hundred picturesque islands were formed in the water area of the Volga, new spawning grounds for fish appeared, water supply to the capital and water transport links with Moscow were established.
The natural resources of the Tver land are of decisive importance for the leisure of tourists and local residents. In the Ivankovskoye reservoir, which in the Konakovo area reaches 3 km in width, there are more than two dozen species of fish, including pike, perch, bream, roach, ruff, ide, catfish, etc. And the deciduous forests spread along the banks are real treasures of nature with rich mushroom, berry and hunting places.
