| The Dnieper River from space (2005) |
The Dnieper River (Днепрo the Russians, Дняпро to the Belarusians, Днiпро to the Ukrainians, and Borysthenes to the Ancient Greeks) flows from its source in western Russia, gains strength from Polish and Belarusian tributaries, dives down through the heart of Ukraine, roaring though cascading dams and reservoirs before emptying into the Black Sea.
On June 1st, I fly to Moscow for three weeks of archival research at GARF and RGAE. From there I will continue on to Kyiv, Ukraine where I will begin my archival voyage down the Dnieper River... (then on to Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, Nova Kakhivka, Kherson, and Odessa)
