THE VOLGA B481N.
The Volga, which rises In the Valdal
'Hills In the Province of Tvar, and
flows finally Into the Volga Lake,
feeds one of the most fertile portions
of Russia, The total length of the
'river Is 2,325 miles, all of which Is
. navigable, and the total area of the
basin Is over 1563,000 square miles. In
the fifth century the Lower Volga was
invaded by the Bulgars, Avas and
1�haZars, and the thirteenth century
saw the Tartar Invasion, In 1480
power passed definitely from the To -
tars to the Russians, and at the end
of the eighth century the Crimea,
which had been for long the home
the Coccasks, was ceded to Russia.
'As a result of the Great Warand the
defection of Russia a separate gov.

Volga has seen much fighting. As a
result of A thousand years of coloul-
zation, almost seven -tenths of the
Present Inhabitants of the basin are

There has also been a large German
