The Dnieper–Donets culture (ca. 5th—4th millennium BC) was a Mesolithic culture in the area north of the Black Sea/Sea of Azov between the Dnieper and Donets River, and bordering the European Neolithic area.
The river is one of the symbols of the Ukrainian nation and is mentioned in the national anthem of Ukraine.The Zaporozhian Cossacks lived on the lower Dniepr and their name refers to their location "beyond the rapids".The River Dnieper has been a subject of chapter X of a story by Nikolai Gogol A Terrible Vengeance (1831, published in 1832 as a part of the Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka short stories collection). It is considered as a classical example of description of the nature in Ukrainian literature. The river was also described in the works of Taras Shevchenko. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnieper Kyiv, Ukraine
The Dnieper rises at an elevation of about 720 feet (220 metres) in a small peat bog on the southern slope of the Valdai Hills of Russia, about 150 miles (240 km) west of Moscow, and flows in a generally southerly direction through western Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine to the Black Sea. For the first 300 miles (480 km) it passes through the Smolensk oblast (region) of Russia, first to the south and then to the west; near Orsha it turns south once more and for the next 370 miles (600 km) flows through Belarus. Finally, it flows through Ukrainian territory: south to Kiev, southeast from Kiev to Dnipropetrovsk, and then south-southwest to the Black Sea. https://www.britannica.com/place/Dnieper-River Kyiv, Ukraine
The Dnieper River is one of the major rivers in Europe. It flows from Russia, through Belarus and Ukraine, to the Black Sea. It is fourth largest by length in Europe. Its total length is 2,285 kilometres (1,420 mi). 485 km (301 mi) is in Russia, 595 km (370 mi) is in Belarus, and 1,095 km (680 mi) is in Ukraine. Its basin covers 504,000 square kilometres (195,000 sq mi). 289,000 km2 (112,000 sq mi) is in Ukraine. In antiquity, it was known to the Greeks as the Borysthenes. Kyiv Ukraine
The Dnieper is one of the major rivers of Europe, rising in the Valdai Hills near Smolensk, Russia, and flowing through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea. It is the longest river of Ukraine and Belarus and the fourth-longest river in Europe. The name is derived from an ancient Iranian phrase, Danu apara, meaning “the river far away.” It has had other names; for example, the ancient Greek historian Herodotus called it the Borysthenes, Scythian for “wide land,” and its Old Slavic name was Slavutich, “the Slavic river.” The river is also mentioned later by the ancient writers Strabo and Pliny the Younger. It was first depicted on a map drawn by Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE. The River Dnieper has been a subject for artists, great and minor, over the centuries. Major artists with works based on the Dnieper are Arkhip Kuindzhi and Ivan Aivazovsky.
The largest river in Ukraine and the third largest in Europe (after the Volga River and the Danube River). From the dawn of history the Dnieper has been closely bound up with the life of the Ukrainian people. It`s length is 2,285 km, of which 485 km lie within the Russian Federation, 595 km within Belarus, and 1,095 km within Ukraine. The Dnieper flows south through the center of Ukraine and bisects its natural zones—forest, forest-steppe, and steppe—interconnecting them and connecting them with the Black Sea. The Dnipro in the past: The Dnipro was known as the Borysthenes to the ancient Greeks and Romans . Its lower part below the rapids was already used then as a water route. Kyiv, the Rus' capital, stood on the Dnipro at the confluence of important water routes. All the important Rus' towns were located on the Dnipro or in its vicinity. The Zaporozhian Sich arose on the lower Dnipro, far in the steppes, and became the nucleus of the second Ukrainian state. The Sich changed locations but remained in the region of the Dnipro floodplains. http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CD%5CN%5CDniproRiver.htm
Dnipro is the fourth for the pre-rye and a third of the area of the river pool in Europe, the river with the current flow in Ukraine. The natural stan dovzhina Dnіpra became 2 285 km, now - 2 201 km; at the distance between Ukraine and Ukraine - 981 km. The area of the pool is 504 yew. km ², from them in the inter-Ukraine - 291.4 tis. km².

In the three countries through which it flows it has essentially the same name, albeit pronounced differently: Russian: Днепр;(Dnepr); Belarusian: Дняпро (Dnyapro); Ukrainian: Дніпро (Dnipro). The late Greek and Roman authors called it Danapris and Danaper respectively. Its Old East Slavic name used at the time of Kievan Rus' was Slavuta or Slavutych, the Huns called it Var, and Bulgars - Buri-Chai.
Dnieper River, Ukrainian Dnipro, Russian Dnepr, Belarusian Dnyapro, ancient (Greek) Borysthenes, river of Europe, the fourth longest after the Volga, Danube, and Ural. It is 1,367 miles (2,200 km) in length and drains an area of about 195,000 square miles (505,000 square km).
The Dnieper basin has been populated since ancient times. It was of central importance in the history of the peoples of eastern Europe, particularly in the founding of the ancient Kievan state. Along this waterway a system of river routes developed in the 4th to 6th century CE as a “route from the Varangians to the Greeks,” connecting the Black Sea with the Baltic and linking the Slavs with both the Mediterranean and the Baltic peoples. Half of the Dnieper (about 700 miles [1,100 km]) borders or passes through Ukrainian territory, and the river is for the Ukrainians the same kind of national symbol that the Volga River is for the Russians.
Under the Soviets, in line with the general plan for water management, much work was undertaken for the multipurpose exploitation of the Dnieper’s water resources. In 1932, in accordance with the Soviet Union’s electrification plan, the river’s first hydroelectric power station was completed at Zaporizhzhya in the region of the rapids. It was the largest power station in Europe until the construction of the huge power stations on the Volga in the 1950s.
Dnipro River (Дніпро; Dnieper; Βορυσθένης [Borysthenes] in ancient Greek; Danapris in Latin of the 4th century). The largest river in Ukraine and the third largest in Europe (after the Volga River and the Danube River). From the dawn of history the Dnieper has been closely bound up with the life of the Ukrainian people. It is the ‘holy river’ of Ukraine. Its length is 2,285 km, of which 485 km lie within the Russian Federation, 595 km within Belarus, and 1,095 km within Ukraine. The Dnieper Basin covers 504,000 sq km, of which 289,000 sq km are within Ukraine (48 percent of its area). The basin occupies 42 percent of the territory of the Ukrainian state and 36 percent of Ukrainian ethnic territory.

Hi Guys !!! I'm Ruslana Shymohina from 9-A class I want to talk about the river Dnipro.
Preserving the Dnipro River is based on a major international research project directed by Ukrainian and Canadian scientists begun in 1994 and completed in 2001. It describes the importance of the Dnipro from an historical perspective, details the steps taken by these international scientists to overcome the river’s environmental degradation, and outlines a strategy to rehabilitate and preserve the Dnipro’s unique biodiversity. This volume also explores a unique approach to sustainable management that blends together both natural and spiritual concerns and draws together philosophical concepts from numerous intellectual traditions, bridging East and West, North and South. The surprising result is a definition and elaboration of a unique approach to sustainable research that meshes the harmonious coexistence of nature and society.
In the three countries through which it flows it has essentially the same name, albeit pronounced differently: Russian: Днепр;(Dnepr); Belarusian: Дняпро (Dnyapro); Ukrainian: Дніпро (Dnipro). The late Greek and Roman authors called it Danapris and Danaper respectively. Its Old East Slavic name used at the time of Kievan Rus' was Slavuta or Slavutych, the Huns called it Var, and Bulgars - Buri-Chai.
The fourth in length river of Europe. The Slavic name at the time of Russia was Slavutich, the ancient Greeks wore the name Borysfen. The length of the Dnipro River in its natural state was 2285 km. Pollution of the Dnipro waters by industrial and domestic wastewater, as well as by agrochemical means, which are intensively applied to the catchment. In recent years, the pollution with household and other waste from the banks of the river and tributaries, including tourists, has also become catastrophic. In March 2010, a major environmental disaster occurred at the Kiev reservoir. In connection with the rapid descent of water from the reservoir there was a strong sea fish. Tons of fish were simply crushed by the descended ice - according to experts, between 50-60% of the fish died.
The Dnieper River is extremely important to the economy of Ukraine. A series of reservoirs with lock systems and hydroelectric stations have been built along its final 500 miles to facilitate transportation and generate hydroelectric power. Navigation on the Dnieper is interrupted annually during the winter freeze.https://www.vikingrivercruises.com.au/cruise-destinations/ukraine/rivers/dnieper/about.html Kalchenko Valeriia Ukrain,Kiev
The river Dnieper like symbol country . For some Ukrainians, the river is a symbol of statehood and national identity. For others, it’s a place to gather, swim, and spend time with family and friends. And for photographer Justyna Mielnikiewicz, it’s a metaphor for modern Ukraine, a country split along historical and ideological divides. https://www.google.com.ua/amp/s/relay.nationalgeographic.com/proxy/distribution/public/amp/photography/proof/2016/10/with-a-river-as-her-muse--a-photographer-explores-visions-of-mod Mariia Batih Kyiv, Ukraine
The Dnieper is the fourth longest river in Europe after the Volga, Danube and the Urals, it has the longest course within the borders of Ukraine. The Slavic name at the time of Rus was Slavutich, the ancient Greeks wore the name Borysfen.
The highest point of the Dnieper - 188 meters is located on the top of a hill in the forest in the Zhilmasivaya West area, the lowest - 52 meters - the water level in the Dnieper River.
2. The first building built in the Dnieper is the Potemkin Palace, more commonly known as the Student Palace. Other sources say that the most ancient city brick buildings are obscure yellow houses on the street Sergey Efremov (former Voroshilov), 8 and 10.
3. The longest street of the Dnieper - Advanced. More than 800 houses were located on it, and they were built for about 10 years.
4. The tallest buildings of the Dnieper - LCD Tower on Vernadsky Street (123 meters), and the longest house is located on Prospekt Heroes, 12. The locals called it the "Chinese Wall". So far, researchers are debating about recognizing it as the longest home in Ukraine and even in Europe.
5. The longest route in the Dnieper (namely, a taxi, no buses, not trolleybuses, no trams) - No. 55. Its length is 29.7 kilometers. This minibus is from the Volunteers alley to the Caverina street.
6. It's no secret that in the Dnieper is the longest embankment in Europe - it consists of three embankments: Victory, Zavodskaya and Sitschivska. And its total length is about 32 kilometers.
On the contrary, the Dnipro subway is the shortest subway in Europe, 6 stations, and the length of the line is only 7.8 kilometers. "Paid demo version" - a modern joking nickname of the local metro.
7. The most expensive hotel room at the Hotel Axelhof. To spend the night in the "suite" room here costs 7 290 hryvnia.
8. For the last 80 years, the highest temperature in the Dnieper River was recorded in August 2010 at 41 degrees in the shade, and the lowest was about -30 degrees in the distant 1954.
9. The longest bridge in the Dnieper - Kaydak, which stretched for 1732 meters. And the Merefo-Kherson bridge is famous for it being the only railway bridge in Europe that has a curved trajectory.
10. The Dnieper also boasts the largest Jewish center in the world - the "Menorah". It was officially opened in 2012.
Etymology of the name Dnieper comes from the ancient Sarmatian language (Sarmatian Dānu). In literal translation Dnieper River means the other side. Unlike the name of the Dniester as that translates as "river". Perhaps the root of the name comes from Persia, but it is assumed that Dnieper is a Greek name.
Dnieper River is one of the symbols of Ukraine, which is initiated by its history, economy and trade. From the main and decisive importance of Dnieper is transport and of the economic situation in Ukraine. Several large-scale hydro and generating hydropower units are built along the river, and all dams are equipped with large gateways, allowing vessels of up to 270 × 18 m to access the port in Kiev.
Except for transportation of goods and commercial uses Dnieper River was turned into a tourist attraction in recent years with the number of passenger cruises on her body constantly increasing in popularity.
One of the interesting facts about the Dnieper River is that is it godmother to several cities along the coast, Dnipropetrovsk, Dniprorudne, Kamianka-Dniprovska. Over the years the river has inspired many musicians, painters and artists.
The founder of the Bulgarian state - Asparuh, finds his death at the thresholds of the Dnieper River. His grave is found on the banks of the Dnieper River, just near the village of Voznesenka located in Ukraine today.

9-V There are 44 locks on the non-tidal Thames, which begins nears Cirencester and ends at Teddington Lock.
The first bridge in the capital was located where the current London Bridge stands. It has been rebuilt many times since the Romans first constructed a river crossing there around 2,000 years ago.
Before engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette built London’s sewer system, much of the capital’s waste was dumped in the river. In 1858, the stench from the river was so overpowering that Parliament had to be suspended and the government decided to find a way to rid the Thames of sewage.
French Impressionist Claude Monet painted the Thames three times. One of the most famous of these paintings is the Thames below Westminster. It depicts the river, Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament on a spring day.

The name Dnieper may be derived either from Sarmatian Dānu apara "the river on the far side" or from Scythian Dānu apr (Dānapr) "deep river." By way of contrast, the name Dniester either derives from "the close river" or from a combination of Scythian Dānu (river) and Ister, the Thracian name for the Dniester.[7] [8] Perhaps the name Dnieper (ancient Danapris) is derived from Turkic Dynporis (from Turkic tyn "quiet" and boris "winding").[9]
In the three countries through which it flows it has essentially the same name, albeit pronounced differently:
Russian: Днепр (Dnepr, [dnʲepr]); Belarusian: Дняпро (Dnyapro, [dnʲaˈprɔ]) or Днепр[10] (Dnyepr, [dnʲɛpr]); Ukrainian: Дніпро (Dnipro, [dnʲiˈprɔ]) or Дніпер[11] (Dniper, [ˈdnʲiper]). The late Greek and Roman authors called it Δάναπρις - Danapris and Danaper respectively. Its Old East Slavic name used at the time of Kievan Rus' was Slavuta or Slavutych, the Huns called it Var,[12] and Bulgars - Buri-Chai.[citation needed] The name in Crimean Tatar: Özü.[13] The river is mentioned both by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC as Borysthenes (Βορυσθένης), as well as by Strabo; this name is Scythian (cf. Iranian *varu-stāna) and translates as "wide land", referring most likely to the Ukrainian steppe.[citation needed] . Unless Icelandic Snorre Skald Sturlasson, in Ynglinga saga, meant Danube, which is rather unlikely, wrote that this river run through Great Sviþjoð (Great Sweden), and separate Asia from Europe (also named Enea, from the eponymous Aeneas). It is, Snorre explains, in his time called Tanais, in earlier times Tanakvisl, and Vanakvisl. This is the realm of the Vanir. To the east is Asia, and the realm of the Æsir. In Snorre Sturlasons perspective ancient peoples that were either later deified, or who practiced deification of their rulers, aka apotheosis. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnieper

Anna Chepurna, Ukraine Some Dnieper River cruises offer shore excursions to the Ukraine’s Fisherman’s Island. The island is the perfect place for those with an interest in nature as it supports a wide variety of plants and animals, and also provides an insight into Ukrainian life and culture with its traditional houses and market. More fantastic scenery can be found further along the Dnieper River as the cruise passes rich agricultural areas, forests, lakes, and rolling landscapes.
The scenery around Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine, is amongst the most beautiful in Europe, featuring hilly landscapes, tranquil waters, and lush, green forests. This area also supports an enormous assortment of wildlife. Kiev itself offers a wealth of historical attractions; some of the most impressive destinations to visit on a shore excursion to Kiev include the underground Monastery of the Caves – which is now home to a number of museums and churches – the ancient city walls, the St. Sophia Cathedral, and the city’s Golden Gate. A shore excursion to Kiev will also offer travellers the chance to walk around its botanical gardens, home to a wide range of animal and plant life. https://www.jetlinecruise.com/river/dnieper-river
Almost 2,000 km (1,200 mi) of the river is navigational (to the city of Dorogobuzh). The Dnieper is important for the transport and economy of Ukraine: its reservoirs have large ship locks, allowing vessels of up to 270 by 18 metres to access as far as the port of Kiev and thus create an important transport corridor.The river is used by passenger vessels as well. Inland cruises on the rivers Danube and Dnieper have been a growing market in recent decades.
Upstream from Kiev, the Dnieper receives the water of the Pripyat River. This navigable river connects to the Dnieper-Bug canal, the link with the Bug River. Historically, a connection with the Western European waterways was possible, but a weir without any ship lock near the town of Brest, Belarus, has interrupted this international waterway. Poor political relations between Western Europe and Belarus mean there is little likehood of reopening this waterway in the near future.River navigation is interrupted each year by freezing in winter, and severe winter storms.
The Dnieper is an authentic symbol of Ukraine. It is a river of Eastern Europe flowing into the Black Sea. This river is navigable. The ships go from Podol quay in Kiev to the mouth of the river where it flows into the Black Sea. The cruise ship departs near one of the most beautiful churches in the world, it is the Cathedral of St. Andrew. You can see the Ark of Friendship of Peoples, a monument to the founders of Kiev, the eternal golden domes of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery. The Dnieper was known to both the Ancient Greeks and the Romans. In the Middle Ages, it was an important trade route between the Baltic Sea and Byzantium and the Black Sea. (See the Primary Chronicle Paragraph Assignment.) Kiev, the capital of early medieval Rus', was located on the Dnieper. Most of the other important medieval Rus' towns such as Chernihiv, Pereiaslav and Smolensk, were also either on the Dnieper or one of its tributaries. The last eight hundred kilometers of the river's length, before it empties into the Black Sea, is an almost consecutive chain of very large reservoirs which together form the "Dnieper Cascade of Hydroelectric Stations." These powerful hydroelectric generating stations, constructed by the Soviet regime beginning in the 1930s, provide about ten percent of Ukraine's electricity.
Dnieper River History and Culture The Dnieper river goes through Russia,Belarus,and the Ukraine.It also leads to the Black Sea. The name Dnieper come can from Sarmatian, in their language They call it “the river on the far side.” Authors from Greece called the river Tyras. In the 19th century the river was also called Tural. The river was the center of the country. The Cucuteni-Trypillian culture is Romanian and Russian, because of the river going through Russia this is why there is the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. The river takes up 80% of the Ukraine. Tribes in the Ukraine used the river too,tribes in the Ukraine such as Goths,Cimmerians,and Scythian tribe used the river. People from Greece and Rome also used the Dnieper river. The Dnieper river is a major river in Europe. This river is also covers 504,000 of land In conclusion, the Dnieper river has an important role in history and the Ukrainian culture. Works Cited ● Wikipedia ● Ducksters ● Kidz Search

For the first 300 miles (480 km) it passes through the Smolensk oblast (region) of Russia, first to the south and then to the west; near Orsha it turns south once more and for the next 370 miles (600 km) flows through Belarus. Finally, it flows through Ukrainian territory: south to Kiev, southeast from Kiev to Dnipropetrovsk, and then south-southwest to the Black Sea.

DeleteThe Dnieper is one of the major rivers of Europe, rising in the Valdai Hills near Smolensk, Russia, and flowing through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea. It is the longest river of Ukraine and Belarus and the fourth-longest river in Europe.
ReplyDeleteThe name is derived from an ancient Iranian phrase, Danu apara, meaning “the river far away.” It has had other names; for example, the ancient Greek historian Herodotus called it the Borysthenes, Scythian for “wide land,” and its Old Slavic name was Slavutich, “the Slavic river.” The river is also mentioned later by the ancient writers Strabo and Pliny the Younger. It was first depicted on a map drawn by Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE.
The River Dnieper has been a subject for artists, great and minor, over the centuries. Major artists with works based on the Dnieper are Arkhip Kuindzhi and Ivan Aivazovsky.

The largest river in Ukraine and the third largest in Europe (after the Volga River and the Danube River). From the dawn of history the Dnieper has been closely bound up with the life of the Ukrainian people. It`s length is 2,285 km, of which 485 km lie within the Russian Federation, 595 km within Belarus, and 1,095 km within Ukraine. The Dnieper flows south through the center of Ukraine and bisects its natural zones—forest, forest-steppe, and steppe—interconnecting them and connecting them with the Black Sea.
ReplyDeleteThe Dnipro in the past:
The Dnipro was known as the Borysthenes to the ancient Greeks and Romans . Its lower part below the rapids was already used then as a water route. Kyiv, the Rus' capital, stood on the Dnipro at the confluence of important water routes. All the important Rus' towns were located on the Dnipro or in its vicinity. The Zaporozhian Sich arose on the lower Dnipro, far in the steppes, and became the nucleus of the second Ukrainian state. The Sich changed locations but remained in the region of the Dnipro floodplains.

ReplyDeleteDnieper River, Ukrainian Dnipro, Russian Dnepr, Belarusian Dnyapro, ancient (Greek) Borysthenes, river of Europe, the fourth longest after the Volga, Danube, and Ural. It is 1,367 miles (2,200 km) in length and drains an area of about 195,000 square miles (505,000 square km).
The Dnieper basin has been populated since ancient times. It was of central importance in the history of the peoples of eastern Europe, particularly in the founding of the ancient Kievan state. Along this waterway a system of river routes developed in the 4th to 6th century CE as a “route from the Varangians to the Greeks,” connecting the Black Sea with the Baltic and linking the Slavs with both the Mediterranean and the Baltic peoples. Half of the Dnieper (about 700 miles [1,100 km]) borders or passes through Ukrainian territory, and the river is for the Ukrainians the same kind of national symbol that the Volga River is for the Russians.
Under the Soviets, in line with the general plan for water management, much work was undertaken for the multipurpose exploitation of the Dnieper’s water resources. In 1932, in accordance with the Soviet Union’s electrification plan, the river’s first hydroelectric power station was completed at Zaporizhzhya in the region of the rapids. It was the largest power station in Europe until the construction of the huge power stations on the Volga in the 1950s.

Hi Guys !!!

I want to talk about the river Dnipro.
Preserving the Dnipro River is based on a major international research project directed by Ukrainian and Canadian scientists begun in 1994 and completed in 2001. It describes the importance of the Dnipro from an historical perspective, details the steps taken by these international scientists to overcome the river’s environmental degradation, and outlines a strategy to rehabilitate and preserve the Dnipro’s unique biodiversity. This volume also explores a unique approach to sustainable management that blends together both natural and spiritual concerns and draws together philosophical concepts from numerous intellectual traditions, bridging East and West, North and South. The surprising result is a definition and elaboration of a unique approach to sustainable research that meshes the harmonious coexistence of nature and society.

The highest point of the Dnieper - 188 meters is located on the top of a hill in the forest in the Zhilmasivaya West area, the lowest - 52 meters - the water level in the Dnieper River.
ReplyDelete2. The first building built in the Dnieper is the Potemkin Palace, more commonly known as the Student Palace. Other sources say that the most ancient city brick buildings are obscure yellow houses on the street Sergey Efremov (former Voroshilov), 8 and 10.
3. The longest street of the Dnieper - Advanced. More than 800 houses were located on it, and they were built for about 10 years.
4. The tallest buildings of the Dnieper - LCD Tower on Vernadsky Street (123 meters), and the longest house is located on Prospekt Heroes, 12. The locals called it the "Chinese Wall". So far, researchers are debating about recognizing it as the longest home in Ukraine and even in Europe.
5. The longest route in the Dnieper (namely, a taxi, no buses, not trolleybuses, no trams) - No. 55. Its length is 29.7 kilometers. This minibus is from the Volunteers alley to the Caverina street.
6. It's no secret that in the Dnieper is the longest embankment in Europe - it consists of three embankments: Victory, Zavodskaya and Sitschivska. And its total length is about 32 kilometers.
On the contrary, the Dnipro subway is the shortest subway in Europe, 6 stations, and the length of the line is only 7.8 kilometers. "Paid demo version" - a modern joking nickname of the local metro.
7. The most expensive hotel room at the Hotel Axelhof. To spend the night in the "suite" room here costs 7 290 hryvnia.
8. For the last 80 years, the highest temperature in the Dnieper River was recorded in August 2010 at 41 degrees in the shade, and the lowest was about -30 degrees in the distant 1954.
9. The longest bridge in the Dnieper - Kaydak, which stretched for 1732 meters. And the Merefo-Kherson bridge is famous for it being the only railway bridge in Europe that has a curved trajectory.
10. The Dnieper also boasts the largest Jewish center in the world - the "Menorah". It was officially opened in 2012.
Etymology of the name Dnieper comes from the ancient Sarmatian language (Sarmatian Dānu). In literal translation Dnieper River means the other side. Unlike the name of the Dniester as that translates as "river". Perhaps the root of the name comes from Persia, but it is assumed that Dnieper is a Greek name.
ReplyDeleteDnieper River is one of the symbols of Ukraine, which is initiated by its history, economy and trade. From the main and decisive importance of Dnieper is transport and of the economic situation in Ukraine. Several large-scale hydro and generating hydropower units are built along the river, and all dams are equipped with large gateways, allowing vessels of up to 270 × 18 m to access the port in Kiev.
Except for transportation of goods and commercial uses Dnieper River was turned into a tourist attraction in recent years with the number of passenger cruises on her body constantly increasing in popularity.
One of the interesting facts about the Dnieper River is that is it godmother to several cities along the coast, Dnipropetrovsk, Dniprorudne, Kamianka-Dniprovska. Over the years the river has inspired many musicians, painters and artists.
The founder of the Bulgarian state - Asparuh, finds his death at the thresholds of the Dnieper River. His grave is found on the banks of the Dnieper River, just near the village of Voznesenka located in Ukraine today.

The first bridge in the capital was located where the current London Bridge stands. It has been rebuilt many times since the Romans first constructed a river crossing there around 2,000 years ago.
Before engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette built London’s sewer system, much of the capital’s waste was dumped in the river. In 1858, the stench from the river was so overpowering that Parliament had to be suspended and the government decided to find a way to rid the Thames of sewage.

The name Dnieper may be derived either from Sarmatian Dānu apara "the river on the far side" or from Scythian Dānu apr (Dānapr) "deep river." By way of contrast, the name Dniester either derives from "the close river" or from a combination of Scythian Dānu (river) and Ister, the Thracian name for the Dniester.[7] [8] Perhaps the name Dnieper (ancient Danapris) is derived from Turkic Dynporis (from Turkic tyn "quiet" and boris "winding").[9]

Ukrainian: Дніпро (Dnipro, [dnʲiˈprɔ]) or Дніпер[11] (Dniper, [ˈdnʲiper]).
The late Greek and Roman authors called it Δάναπρις - Danapris and Danaper respectively. Its Old East Slavic name used at the time of Kievan Rus' was Slavuta or Slavutych, the Huns called it Var,[12] and Bulgars - Buri-Chai.[citation needed] The name in Crimean Tatar: Özü.[13] The river is mentioned both by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC as Borysthenes (Βορυσθένης), as well as by Strabo; this name is Scythian (cf. Iranian *varu-stāna) and translates as "wide land", referring most likely to the Ukrainian steppe.[citation needed] . Unless Icelandic Snorre Skald Sturlasson, in Ynglinga saga, meant Danube, which is rather unlikely, wrote that this river run through Great Sviþjoð (Great Sweden), and separate Asia from Europe (also named Enea, from the eponymous Aeneas). It is, Snorre explains, in his time called Tanais, in earlier times Tanakvisl, and Vanakvisl. This is the realm of the Vanir. To the east is Asia, and the realm of the Æsir.

The Dnieper is important for the transport and economy of Ukraine: its reservoirs have large ship locks, allowing vessels of up to 270 by 18 metres to access as far as the port of Kiev and thus create an important transport corridor.The river is used by passenger vessels as well. Inland cruises on the rivers Danube and Dnieper have been a growing market in recent decades.
ReplyDeleteUpstream from Kiev, the Dnieper receives the water of the Pripyat River. This navigable river connects to the Dnieper-Bug canal, the link with the Bug River. Historically, a connection with the Western European waterways was possible, but a weir without any ship lock near the town of Brest, Belarus, has interrupted this international waterway. Poor political relations between Western Europe and Belarus mean there is little likehood of reopening this waterway in the near future.River navigation is interrupted each year by freezing in winter, and severe winter storms.

The Dnieper is an authentic symbol of Ukraine. It is a river of Eastern Europe flowing into the Black Sea. This river is navigable. The ships go from Podol quay in Kiev to the mouth of the river where it flows into the Black Sea. The cruise ship departs near one of the most beautiful churches in the world, it is the Cathedral of St. Andrew. You can see the Ark of Friendship of Peoples, a monument to the founders of Kiev, the eternal golden domes of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery.
ReplyDeleteThe Dnieper was known to both the Ancient Greeks and the Romans. In the Middle Ages, it was an important trade route between the Baltic Sea and Byzantium and the Black Sea. (See the Primary Chronicle Paragraph Assignment.) Kiev, the capital of early medieval Rus', was located on the Dnieper. Most of the other important medieval Rus' towns such as Chernihiv, Pereiaslav and Smolensk, were also either on the Dnieper or one of its tributaries.
The last eight hundred kilometers of the river's length, before it empties into the Black Sea, is an almost consecutive chain of very large reservoirs which together form the "Dnieper Cascade of Hydroelectric Stations." These powerful hydroelectric generating stations, constructed by the Soviet regime beginning in the 1930s, provide about ten percent of Ukraine's electricity.
