Volga
The Volga is the longest river in Europe, flowing through central Russia to the Caspian Sea. It was a major artery of trade linking the Baltic and northern forests with the Caspian, Central Asia and the Islamic world. The Khazar Khaganate controlled its lower course, with its capital Atil near the river's mouth, and profited greatly from the commerce passing along it.
