Meshchera Lowlands

Meshchera Lowlands or Meshchyora Lowlands (Russian: Мещёрская низменность, romanized: Meshchyorskaya nizmennost), also referred to as simply Meshchera (Мещера) or Meshchyora (Мещёра), is a spacious lowland in the middle of the European Russia. It is named after the Finnic Meshchera people, which used to live there (later mixing with neighbouring Baltic, Turkic and Slavic tribes). It occupies parts of Moscow Oblast, Vladimir Oblast and Ryazan Oblast, as well as eastern districts of Moscow proper.
