Yegoshikha River

Yegoshikha River

Yegoshikha (Russian: Егоши́ха, ), formerly Yagoshikha (Russian: Ягоши́ха), is a river in Perm Krai, Russia, the left tributary of the Kama. In spite of its relatively small size it is famous for its historical significance. It mainly flows in the borders of the Perm city. The origin of Yegoshikha is in the forest area close to Lipovaya Gora and Vladimirskiy microdistricts. The river flows along the Yegoshikha ravine, which divides the left-bank (relatively to Kama) part of Perm city and is crossed by two dams and a bridge (which is also called a dam by general population). At the banks of Yegoshikha there is a lot of country cottages, The South Cemetery and The Yegoshikha (Old) Cemetery. Yegoshikha flows into Kama close to Perm I river port.

Famous quotes containing the word river:

    It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.... As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”
    J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
