ABOUT THE
Moscow
River
“Moscow—Port of Five Seas” is written on the
banner of the north river terminal in Moscow. It’s
true; the city sits on the banks of the Moskva River
(Moscow River), which leads to several large
bodies of water via canals including the Caspian
Sea, the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. But I think,
the slogan also reflects the city’s inhabitants’ love
of diving. Just looking at the shear number of dive
centers in the city, Moscow is “in front of the entire
planet” among world capitals. And it all begins
with a modest spring, which trickles out from under
a pretty, little chapel at the 148th kilometer of
Minsk Highway.
