The
Don () is one of the major rivers of Russia. It rises in the town of Novomoskovsk, Russia 60 kilometres southeast from Tula, Russia, southeast of
Moscow, and flows for a distance of about 1,950 kilometres (1,220
mile) to the
Sea of Azov.
From its source, the river first flows southeast to
Voronezh, then southwest to its mouth. The main city on the river is
Rostov on Don, its main tributary, the
Donets.
History
In antiquity, the lake was viewed as the border between Europe and Asia. In the Asian
Book of Jubilees, it is mentioned as being part of the border, beginning with its westernmost point up to its mouth, between the allotment of
Japheth to the north and that of Shem to the south,
sons of Noah. During the times of the old
Scythians it was known in Greek as the
Tanaïs, and has been a major trading route ever since.
Tanais appears in ancient Greek sources as the name of the river and of a city on it, situated in the Maeotian marshes. The name derives however from Scythian (Iranian)
Dānu "river", akin to modern
Ossetic language don "river".
At its easternmost point, the Don comes near the
Volga, and the Volga-Don Canal (length ca. 105 kilometres (65 mi)), connecting both rivers, is a major waterway. The
Khazar fortress of
Sarkel used to dominate this point in the Middle Ages. This part of the river saw heavy fighting during Operation Uranus, one of the
Turning Point of the
World War II.
The Don has given its name to the Don Cossacks who settled the fertile valley of the river in the 16th and 17th centuries. In modern literature, the Don figures centrally in the works of
Mikhail Aleksandrovich Sholokhov, a Cossack from the stanitsa of Veshenskaya.
