Summary: The Volga is Europe's longest river and the primary waterway of western Europe. From its source in the Valdai Hills, northwest of Moscow, the Volga flows east into the Rybinsk Reservoir, then turns southeastward on its way to the Caspian Sea. During its more than 2,000-mile-long trek, the Volga passes such notable Russian cities as Ulyanovsk, home, the home of V.I. Lenin (founder of the Russian Communist Party) Volgograd, which was devastated by German troops during World War II. Today, the Volga remains important to Russia as a source of hydro-electricity and a route for much of Russia's freight cargo.
