The Volga region (Povolzhye – literally ‘Along the Volga River’) is the heartland of Russia. ‘Mother Volga’, the majestic river that dominates the region, is one of the nation’s most enduring and endearing symbols. The cultural legacies of Russian merchants, Tatar tribes and German colonists are displayed in the ancient kremlins, spire-topped mosques and Lutheran churches along the river banks. The Volga was the site of WWII’s fiercest battle, now marked by a jaw-dropping monument.
The Volga River is immortalised in the Song of the Volga Boatmen: ‘Mighty stream so deep and wide. Volga, Volga our pride.’ Today the river’s lush environs attract boaters, bathers, hikers, birders and fishermen.
