On the shore of Salgir

Illustration from the book "Alexander Pushkin in the South."
The Russian city of Simferopol, which received the Greek name, through which the "Salgir" river flows, was built on the site of Naples Scythian. Later, the Poet mentioned this river in the "Bakhchisarai Fountain": - "A fan of the muses, a fan of the world, / Forgetting and glory and love, / Oh, soon Ill see you again, / Brega cheerful Salgir!"
