"Have you ever been to the Yenisey?
If you did not, I do not envy you!
I saw many rivers, but I did not dispel anguish.
By his white, stagnant waves. "
Kazimir Lisovsky "On the shore of the Yenisei".
In Russia, many large and beautiful rivers, such as the Irtysh, the Lena, the Angara, the Ob. One of the biggest in Europe and beautiful Russian rivers is the Yenisei.
It is unlikely that there will be a person who does not like his land, does not admire the beauty of landscapes of his native land. A special pride, enthusiasm among nature lovers and tourists, are caused by rivers and lakes. To visit the great river, to feel all its power and strength, to get a lot of impressions and adrenaline, not only every child dreams, but also an adult.
Ask any resident of Eastern Siberia, which, in his opinion, is the most significant landmark of its land, except for the giants of industry and rapidly growing megacities. The answer will be unambiguous - the river is the hero Yenisei. A resident of the Caucasus will proudly tell about the restless river Terek. Among the local historians of the European part of Russia, the proud majestic beauty of Volga, undoubtedly, will be in the center of attention, sung by many poets in her poems and novels of writers.
The Yenisei in the upper reaches are fast, winding. Above the red and gray precipices and where the rocks have moved away from the river, forests rise: a tall and dense wall, pine trees with straight golden-red trunks, craggy bogatyr-cedars, dark spruce and fir trees and light-coniferous larch. Spring ice drift is very powerful and often accompanied by large ice jams. On the wide expanses of the Yenisei and in the places of its narrowing, the ice-breaker is formidable and beautiful. Large tributaries of the Yenisei significantly increase its water content, but, in general, the increase in expenditure occurs from the top downwards fairly evenly.
Who even once visited the Yenisei, he for the rest of his life will remember his emerald, covered with dense forest shores, enchanting splash of waves, delightful landscapes of evening sunset or early morning covered in blue haze on the eve of a new day. It is impossible not to admire the beauty of the Yenisei. Sometimes he is quiet and affectionate, especially under the morning rays of the rising sparkling sun, then suddenly he will boil, become angry and darken. Terrible in these minutes, the Yenisei: heavy, as if the leaden waves with all their might fly to a peacefully sleeping shore. But just look out from behind the clouds and smile the sun, as the mighty Yenisei calms down, becomes affectionate and quietly swims between the huge forests, washing the fields and mountains.
The Great River pleases the look and heart of every person not only with its unique landscapes, life-giving coolness, shady groves. On the shores of the Yenisei from time immemorial, kind and friendly people live. They built a lot of towns and villages that are drowning in the spring blossom of cherry orchards.
Unrecognizable has become the Yenisei in recent years. His violent temper and disobedience are a thing of the past. Overlapped by several dams, it spread widely across the expanses of its native land, watered it with life-giving moisture. The waters of the Yenisei fill the thirsting fields, they carry out the death sentence to the dry winds and droughts.
Journey through the Yenisei, for life, will leave unforgettable impressions: about the river itself, about the landscapes of its shores, about the beauty of the Yenisei at different times of the day and night - in good sunny weather and on a cloudy day, in rain and in a storm. Traveling along the water expanses of the great river, not only strengthens the love for nature, gives birth to a desire to protect it, but also develops a sense of pride for their homeland, the friendship of the twin peoples.
Yenisei is a great and mighty river.
