Volga River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1187 words)
The Volga river in Western Russia, Europe's longest river, with a length of 3,690 km (2,293 miles), provides the core of the largest river system in Europe.
The Volga is of great importance to inland shipping and transport in Russia: all the dams in the river have been equipped with large (double) ship locks, so that vessels of considerable dimensions can actually travel from the Caspian Sea almost to the upstream end of the river.
Connections with the Don River and the Black Sea are possible through the Volga-Don Canal; connections with the lakes of the North and with Saint Petersburg are possible through the Volga-Baltic Waterway and a liaison with Moscow has been realised by the Moscow Canal connecting Volga and Moskwa rivers.
