Answer by William Donovan
The Volga river in Western Russia, Europe’s longest river, with a length of 3,690 km (2,293 miles), provides the core of the largest river system in Europe. In ancient times it was known as Atil, Itil or Idil.

Rising in the Valdai Hills 225 m (740 ft) above sea level north-west of Moscow and about 320 kilometres south-east of Saint Petersburg, the Volga heads east past Tver’, Dubna, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan (Qazan). From there it turns south, flows past Tolyatti, Samara and Volgograd, and discharges into the Caspian Sea below Astrakhan at 28 metres below sea level.
