Don River (Russia)
The Don ( rus, Дон, p=don) is the fifth-longest river in Europe. Flowing from Central Russia to the Sea of Azov in Southern Russia, it is one of Russia's largest rivers and played an important role for traders from the Byzantine Empire. Its basin is between the Dnieper basin to the west, the lower Volga basin immediately to the east, and the Oka basin (tributary of the Volga) to the north. Native to much of the basin were Slavic nomads. The Don rises in the town of Novomoskovsk southeast of Tula (in turn south of Moscow), and flows 1,870 kilometres to the Sea of Azov. The river's upper half ribbles (meanders subtly) south; however, its lower half consists of a great eastern curve, including Voronezh, making its final stretch, an estuary, run west south-west. The main city on the river is Rostov-on-Don. Its main tributary is the Seversky Donets, centred on the mid-eastern end of Ukraine, thus the other country in the overall basin.

Boguchar
Boguchar (russian: Богуча́р) is a town and the administrative center of Bogucharsky District in Voronezh Oblast, Russia, located on the Boguchar River (a tributary of the Don), south of Voronezh, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: History Isaac Massa's map of Southern Russia printed in 1638 indicates a settlement near the confluence of the Boguchar River with Don called ''Bogunar'' (an apparent misspelling caused by the similarity of Cyrillic letters '' ч'' (ch) and '' н'' (n)). However, it is located on a different place than present-day Boguchar, in particular, on the left bank of the Don River. This area was inhabited by Don Cossacks in the 17th century, but was devastated during the suppression of the Bulavin Rebellion (1707–08), in which the upper Don Cossacks were active participants. Afterwards, the area has never been a part of the Don Cossack Host, but rather of Sloboda Ukraine and later Voronezh Governorate, since it was settled by the ...
