St. Petersburg is famous for its historical museums and cultural monuments, but its main attraction is the Neva, a river that amazes with its beauty, power and strength. This is a real waterway of the great Russian city, bringing unique energy and a certain mystery to it.

General characteristics

It has a very large length, amounting to 74 kilometers from the source to the Gulf of Finland in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. The river in St. Petersburg itself flows for only 30 kilometers.

It is quite wide, especially near the source (more than 1000 m), and its narrowest place, 200 meters wide, is located near Cape Svyatki at the Ivanovo rapids. On average, the distance from one bank to another varies from 500 to 700 m. It is also believed that the Neva is a deep-water river. Its minimum depth is 4 meters, and the maximum in some places reaches 24 m.

In winter, the Neva freezes completely. She is shackled with ice from December until April. The general direction of its flow is from east to west. The river has steep, sometimes steep banks, the average height of which is within 10 meters.

Centuries-old history

Several thousand years ago, in the place where the Neva is located, a river that has witnessed many historical moments in the fate of Russia, the Tosna River used to flow. After the Ladoga reservoir was transformed into a closed lake, its waters rose, thereby exceeding the permissible level, and flooded the entire valley of the Mgi River. The Ivanovo rapids were formed on this very territory. Thus, a valley arose where the Neva now flows. The Tosna River was subsequently transformed into its tributaries.

The development of the lands of this waterway and their settlement by people began in ancient times when the glaciers melted.

In the ninth century, the Neva was called Vodskaya Pyatina and belonged to Veliky Novgorod. It divided those lands into two banks, which had different names, the right - Karelian territory, and the left - Izhora.

It is generally accepted that the river received the name “Neva” from the Swedes in the thirteenth century, when battles took place in these places between the Nizhny Novgorod militia and Swedish troops. The first mention of the river as the “Neva” was found in a book that described the life of Alexander Nevsky.

In the eighteenth century, when the Neva returned back to the Russian Empire, the ceremonial construction of St. Petersburg began, which later became the capital. But bridges were not built at that time, since Peter I considered them a direct barrier to navigation. They began to appear in the city only after the death of the king.

Opening of bridges

It is known that many different structures were erected both near the river and above it. But the most important, undoubtedly, are the bridges. A large number of them have been built, and they are all different: some are needed for pedestrians, others are intended for cars, and others are for railways. The oldest of them are: Blagoveshchensky, built in 1850, and Liteiny, built in 1879.

Many of the bridges are movable, and in 2004 the opening of a new non-movable (cable-stayed) Bolshoi Obukhovsky Bridge took place. In 2007, the northern capital celebrated the opening of another cable-stayed bridge, the twin brother of the Bolshoi Obukhovsky.

Variety of attractions

Everyone knows the fact that the Neva is a river in St. Petersburg. The description of this water artery of the city introduces the wonderful places along its bed, with the extraordinary beauty of the valleys located near its banks.

In addition to the beauty of nature, the Neva is also famous for the splendor of architectural masterpieces scattered along its banks. One of these ancient attractions is the fortress with the interesting name “Oreshek”, located not far from Shlisselburg. Along the entire length of the Neva on its banks there are many temples and historical monuments, as well as churches and various monuments dedicated to various memorable dates.

In St. Petersburg itself, on the banks of the Neva, there are many cultural monuments that have become real symbols of the northern capital of the Russian Federation. For example, the famous Hermitage is located there, which is one of the favorite places to visit for both residents and guests of St. Petersburg.

In 2006, a magnificent fountain was opened opposite Vasilyevsky Island. There are also many interesting historical attractions: “Aurora” - the famous cruiser, Summer Garden, Smolny and many others.

Various islands and tributaries

26 small compared to it tributaries flow into the Neva, the main ones are Mga, Tosna, Izhora, Slavyanka, Okhta and Chernaya Rechka.

In its delta it has about forty islands, the most significant and largest of which are Dekabristov, Vasilievsky, Petrogradsky and Krestovsky. The territory of Zayachy, Kamenny and Elaginsky islands is slightly smaller, but they are no less famous.

The Neva is a river in St. Petersburg that does not have spits or any wide shoals, so ships can safely approach its banks.

The only river flowing out of it is the Neva.

The total length of its granite embankments is 100 km!

Due to the fact that water from the Gulf of Finland is forced into the lower reaches of the river, disastrous floods often occur there. The most catastrophic event was in November 1824, which was even mentioned by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in his poem called “The Bronze Horseman.”

The Neva - a river in St. Petersburg - is loved by fishermen. This type of fishing is very developed here, since in its waters there is an interesting fish - smelt, which comes here from the Gulf of Finland and has become a kind of brand of the northern capital. If you're lucky, you can even catch salmon, but you need to know certain places. Pike, pike perch, ruff, roach, and perch are found here.

Anyone who has never seen this water artery with his own eyes will not fully understand what the Neva (the river in St. Petersburg) can be like. Photos can only partially convey all its beauty, power and splendor. This river amazes everyone with its grandeur.

The Neva River is one of the most beautiful rivers in Russia. Most people are familiar with it thanks to the beautiful St. Petersburg, located on its banks. As you know from a school geography course, the Neva is one river that originates in Lake Ladoga, and here is its source. In the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea is the Neva Bay, where the Neva flows, and there is its mouth.

Neva

The river flows through the territory of the Leningrad region and the city of St. Petersburg. Its length is 74 km, the length in a straight line from the source of the Neva to its mouth is 45 km. The depth averages from 8 to 11 m, the deepest mark is 24 m. The Neva carries its waters along a plain called the Neva Lowland. The banks slope steeply to the water, their height is 4-5 m, at the mouth of the river they are flatter - 3-4 m. The place where the Neva flows is the Gulf of Finland; as already mentioned, it originates in Lake Ladoga.

The width of the river is on average 600 m, the widest point reaches one kilometer. Compared to other low-lying bodies of water, it is quite fast-flowing. The current speed is more than 1 m per second. The Neva River bends quite sharply in three places.

  • At the Ivanovo rapids. An approximately three-kilometer stretch of river with shallow depths, frequent shallows and high current speeds of up to 4 m per second. It is located near the town of Otradnoye.
  • Near Ust-Slavyanka - a historical district of St. Petersburg.
  • At the Smolny Institute. This historical building is a monument to the era of early classicism, built according to the design of the architect D. Quarenghi. Currently the governor's residence.

The Neva, with a length of 75 km, is one of the largest, deepest and deepest rivers in Europe. Due to the uniform flow of water from Lake Ladoga (source), there are practically no spring floods on the river.

Neva Delta - St. Petersburg

The city of St. Petersburg was founded and built in a low-lying and swampy place. To drain the swamps, it was necessary to dig one hundred and one canals and a large number of ponds. The soil removed by digging the canals was used to raise the level of the islands. Over time, many of them lost their significance and were covered with earth. Now the number of islands has been reduced to 59.

Neva Bay, where the Neva flows, is located in the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. At its confluence, the river forms a branched delta with many islands connected by channels. St. Petersburg is actually located on these islands. The most famous islands are Zayachiy and Vasilyevsky. On the first is the Peter and Paul Fortress, on the second are the famous St. Petersburg sphinxes and the stock exchange building.

Emperor Peter I had a dream to divide the largest of the islands, Vasilievsky, at the mouth of the Neva with canals, making it look like a corner of Amsterdam. The ruler's dreams were not destined to come true. An associate of Emperor Peter I, A. Menshikov, squandered the funds available in the treasury. For a long time, people refused to settle on the island because there were no roads. Its mass settlement was possible only after the construction of bridges across the Neva.

The area of ​​the water artery basin of St. Petersburg is about 5 thousand km 2, including Lakes Onega and Lake Ladoga. It is distinguished by its complex hydrological network. The basin includes about 26.3 thousand lakes and 48.3 thousand rivers. 26 rivers and small streams flow directly into the Neva. Its main tributaries are: on the right side - Izhora, Slavyanka, Mga, Tosna, Murzinka, on the left - Chernaya Rechka and Okhta.

Etymology of the name

There are several versions of the origin of the name of the river. The first one is Finnish, from the word “neva”, which translates as treeless swamp. Translated from the Sami word “nеvе” means small, fast. The second version is based on the Swedish word “ny(en)” - new. There is also a Slavic hypothesis about the origin of the name Neva. From the chronicles it is known that Lake Ladoga, which is the source of the Neva, was called Nevo in the old days, which meant “new”. Apparently, the tribes that previously inhabited these lands were eyewitnesses of the water leaving the banks of the reservoir and the birth of the river.

St. Petersburg floods

The city is located in low-lying and swampy areas, on islands connected by channels, rivers and canals. During strong autumn winds blowing from the southwest, water rushes into the Gulf of Finland, where the Neva flows, and from there it flows through the river and channels into the city. Floods occur frequently and sometimes have catastrophic consequences. Near St. Isaac's Square there is a stele with marks of all known floods. The highest mark is at 4.21 m. This flood occurred in 1824 and was reflected in the work of A.S. Pushkin "The Bronze Horseman".

In St. Petersburg on the Neva, floods occur between September and December. They cause significant damage to the city. The last very dangerous flood, when the water mark along the Kronstadt water gauge was 220 cm, happened in 2007. In 2011, the construction of a complex of protective structures in Neva Bay was completed. It was deployed during the surge on December 28, 2011. This helped to avoid a very dangerous flood; according to experts, the water level could have risen to 281 cm. If they had not managed to close the dam, the city would have suffered multi-billion dollar damage.

Cities on the Neva

There are four cities in total on the banks of the Neva. This is primarily St. Petersburg, located on the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland. In addition, on the river there are Otradnoye, Kirovsk, Shlisselburg, located at the exit of the Neva from Ladoga. There are numerous small settlements on the banks.

Otradnoe

Before the revolution, the village of Otradnoye was a countryside holiday destination for residents of the capital. Beautiful places, fresh air and a clean river attracted city residents here in the summer. Now Otradnoye, with a population of 25.3 thousand people, is a fairly large industrial center, which has its own shipbuilding plant "Pella", the confectionery association "Lubimy Krai", "Lenrechport", OJSC "Nevsky Electroshield Plant", etc. The city, which received in 1970 year, its status as a result of the annexation of the villages of Ivanovskoye and Ust-Tosno, has a history of more than five hundred years.

It is located 18 km from the Rybatskoye metro station, which is part of the territory of St. Petersburg.

Kirovsk

Kirovsk was founded in 1931 on the high left bank of the Neva as a city for the builders of the Kirov State District Power Plant. Distance from St. Petersburg - 35 km. Currently it is an industrial city with a population of 26 thousand people. Here is the Ladoga plant, a house-building plant, a branch of the Okeanpribor concern and many others. The M18 highway passes through Kirovsk, connecting the city of St. Petersburg with Murmansk. The city bears the name of the outstanding figure of the Soviet Union Sergei Mironovich Kirov. It has a pier and the Nevdubstroy railway station.

Shlisselburg

The city of Shlisselburg was founded as a fortress. It was founded in 1323 by Prince Yuri of Novgorod at the exit of the Neva from Ladoga on Orekhovy Island and was called “Oreshek”. The fortress was wooden; 25 years later the Novgorodians laid stone walls. It played an important strategic role and opened the way to the sea for Novgorod.

More than once “Oreshek” withstood the siege of the Swedes, but in 1613 it was captured by them and received a new name - Noteburg, which translated from Swedish meant the city of nuts. After 89 years, the settlement was recaptured by Peter I. He gave it its modern name.

A settlement with the same name was formed on the left bank of the river, which in 1780 was given the status of the city of Shlisselburg. Now its population is 15 thousand people. The road N135 Shlisselburg - Kirovsk - Petersburg is built to St. Petersburg. The distance to the Northern capital is about 50 km.

One of the most magnificent rivers in Russia is the Neva. Lake Ladoga serves as the mouth of 30 rivers, and only the Neva flows out of it and continues its significant journey. Free, luxurious and characteristic, she invariably adorns St. Petersburg. Poems are written in honor of it, because the river is no less loved by all Russians than the city of St. Petersburg itself.

The Neva is often called the most uncontrollable river. It changes its depth and width every half kilometer. Therefore, it has difficulty resisting the forces of the wind, and there are many known cases when the Neva brought disaster to its coastal residents. The beautiful river can be different and can show a changeable “character” in every possible way. Under dark clouds she becomes threatening and gloomy, during sunset she becomes colorful, and in the autumn she especially tries to show her temper, but it is impossible not to fall in love with her.

The river, unlike other bodies of water, receives its nutrition from the lake. Due to the steep banks, ships can approach both of them closely. Large-scale floods occur occasionally. The Gulf of Finland is gaining water, and the Neva is becoming a real disaster for the local population.

Length of the Neva River

The main water system of some Russian cities cannot boast of being too long. The length of the Neva from source to mouth is only 75 km. And the length from the beginning of the river to the end in a straight direction is 46 km. The height of the fall of the water element is 5 meters. The Neva is not considered one of the big and mighty rivers of Russia, but despite this, the small river holds the same volume of water as the Dnieper and Don rivers combined! The Neva has a huge basin consisting of 48 thousand lakes. The largest among them are Ladoga and Onega.

Source of the Neva River

(Lake Ladoga - the source of the Neva River)

The Neva originates from the corner of Lake Ladoga, near the city of Shlisselburg. After a few kilometers, the river makes a detour and flows into the Gulf of Finland. Numerous tributaries and branches of the river form a vast area on which the largest cities of the Russian Federation are located.

Nature gave people a small island at the very source of the Neva, which protects the exit from the lake to the majestic river. Every guest of the island can enjoy amazing views of ancient castles and towers of historical value for Russia.

Mouth of the Neva River

The river ends its course in the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland. A sandbank separates the river mouth from the Neva Bay. Covering the distance from its source to the end of the mouth, the river makes a detour and ends in the south.

Tributaries of the Neva River

The small river collects 25 rivers and various watercourses. In addition, the Neva has many water branches, canals and channels. The most important tributaries of the Neva are the Black River, Izhora, Mga and Murzinka. Almost all tributaries turn out to be much older than the Neva itself and carry their own rich historical value. The main right-hand tributaries are Utka, Okhta, Dubrovka, Chernavka. According to the nature of the regime, the Neva is divided into upper and lower parts.

The Neva is a very multifaceted river. She perfectly combines beauty and power, humility and unbridled character, and together with the changeable St. Petersburg weather, she has become a local legend.

Cities of Russia on the Neva River

On the picturesque banks of the majestic river there are four large cities - Otradnoye, St. Petersburg, Kirovsk and Shlisselburg. There are also more than 30 cities and villages with smaller populations, unlike large cities. The stormy Neva River conceals a rich and mysterious history of its cities. Many scientists are sure that a huge amount of valuables is hidden on the territory of the Neva. Until now, archaeologists have found numerous facts indicating that it was on the banks of the Neva River that ancient people organized their camps.

The Neva River in folk culture

(I.K. Aivazovsky “View of St. Petersburg” 1988)

Great poets dedicated their poems to the wondrous river. They sing about her and compose thousands of songs about her. Museums contain masterpieces depicting the great Neva River. She serves as a muse for many artists, singers, poets and artists of our time. A.S. Pushkin described one of the floods of the Neva River in his famous poem “The Bronze Horseman”. School “Scarlet Sails”, love dates, the beach on Petropavlovka, the raising of bridges - this is what gives unforgettable memories to the residents of the legendary “city on the Neva”.
