Saratov
Saratov (????????) is a major city in southern European Russia. It is the capital of Saratov Oblast and a major port on the Volga river, located at {{coor dm|51|33|N|46|00|E|}}. The city was founded in 1590 by Ivan the Terrible as a fortress. Located south of Samara and north of Volgograd (former Stalingrad, and, also, former Tsarytsin), Saratov became an important shipping port in the 1800s, and developed industrially after a railroad linking it to Moscow was finished in 1870. The name Saratov is derived from the Tatar words "Sary Tau" which means "yellow mountain".
