Legend

Moscow (1) is situated on the Moskva River, which at Kolomna (3) joins the Oka River, coming from Oryol (2) and continuing west to Ryazan (4).

Europe's longest river, the Volga, originates in the Valdai Hills (5), passes Tver (6) and Rybinsk (7). Both the Oka and the Volga continue east, beyond this map.

The River Lovat originates in northern Belarus, passes Velikiye Luki (8) on its way to lake Ilmen. Further north, the Volkhov River passes the town Veliky Novogorod (9) en route to Europe's largest lake, Lake Ladoga (10). From there, the short Neva River passes Saint Petersburg (11) at the Gulf of Finland.

The Velikaya River passes Pskov (12) at Lake Peipus, from where the short Narva River passes through the town of Narva (13) near the Gulf of Finland. The capitals of Estonia, Tallinn, (14) and of Finland, Helsinki, (15) guard the gulf on opposite sides.

Daugava is the Latvian name of the Zapadnaya Dvina, which passes Vitebsk (16), Daugavpils (17) and ends at Riga (18) at the Gulf of Riga.

The Neris, which passes through Lithuania's capital Vilnius (19) is a tributary of the Neman River, which originates near Minsk (20), the capital of Belarus. The two merge at Kaunas (21). The Neman ends at the Curian Lagoon.

Further south is the city of Kaliningrad/Königsberg (22) on the Pregolya River, which empties into the Vistula Lagoon.

The long Dnieper River passes Smolensk (23) in Russia, runs through Belarus and Kiev (24) in Ukraine before it finally empties into the Black Sea. One of its tributaries is the Desna River which passes Bryansk (25).
