The KharkivorKharkov (Ukrainian: Ха́рків, Russian: Харьков) is a riverinKharkiv Oblast, Ukraine, a left tributary of the Lopan.[1] It originates from the town of OktyabrskyinBelgorod Oblast, Russia and it falls into Lopan in the city of Kharkiv.

The river Kharkiv may have given the city of Kharkiv its name.[2] The river is also known as a place for people who enjoy cold-water swimming known as morzhei or "walruses" to swim.[3]

History

[edit]

In the 17th century, Ukrainian Cossacks led by I. Karkach built a fortified settlement on the plateau surrounded by the Kharkiv River and the Lopan River.[4]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in 2024, a Russian attack on a nearby oil depot on February 9 leaked oil into the river and nearby Nemyshlia river, contaminating it.[5]
