Volga. History of the main river of Russia
14.99 €
The Volga needs no introduction. But if you need to be reminded of it, here are just a few of the things that inextricably link it to Russia:

- History: from the Khazars and the Golden Horde to the campaigns of Ivan the Terrible and the Battle of Stalingrad. From the peasant wars of Razin and Pugachev to the Civil War and the deportation of peoples.

- Economy: from the Nizhny Novgorod fair to the Astrakhan trading farms of Armenians, Persians and Indians.

- Technology: from burlaks and steamboats to a cascade of hydroelectric power plants.

Almost everyone has their own associations with the Volga, but whatever they are, it is one of the symbols of the country, without which Russia is absolutely impossible to imagine.
