Revision as of 00:13, 24 June 2004 by Irpen (talk | contribs) (names confusion corrected and Irpen' tributary added)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Dnieper River (Днепр - rus, Днiпро - ukr) is a great river (2290 km length) which flows from Russia through Belarus and then Ukraine. In all three countries it has the same name, albeit pronounced differently, so it can be also called Dniepr, Dnipro and Dnieper.
Dnieper finds its source in Valday hills (north Russia) and runs south eventually flowing into the Black Sea. 115 km of its length serve as a natural border between Belarus and Ukraine. About last 800 km of Dnieper represents a chain of consecutive reservoirs.
