Neva River
The Neva is a short but powerful river of north-western Russia, flowing about 74 kilometres from Lake Ladoga to the Gulf of Finland. It formed a key route between the Baltic and Novgorod and was long contested between Novgorod, later Russia, and Sweden; Alexander Nevsky won his name defeating the Swedes on it in 1240. Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg at its mouth in 1703.
