PICTURESQUE CORNERS
The type of river system depends on the geographical and climatic features of the area. The Central Russian Upland, more precisely, its southwestern part, where the Kursk Region is located, is famous for the variety of flora and fauna. This area is characterized by a flat relief with small hills. Erosion damage, responsible for its formation in a given area, is mainly caused by the activity of river flows. Rivers and lakes of the Kursk region are a complex of separate picturesque corners, alternating one after another. As a result of the activity of small rivers, many ravines were formed. Forest-steppes are replaced by broad-leaved forests and oak forests. There are also pine groves that sprawl on sandy soils. Forests covering the coast alternate with meadows partially plowed for agricultural land.


Basically, the natural lakes of this region are formed in the floodplains of some rivers, once flooded with floods. Many of them are elders of the Seim river. These include lakes such as Malino, Fitizh, Macove, Lezvino, Cranberry. The latter was formed on the site of a former peat bog at the beginning of the 20th century. In places, its shores are covered with forest glades dotted with strawberries and raspberries. Many plants grow here, including those listed in the Red Book. Malino Lake is known as a source of good catch. It is noteworthy that each individual fish species knows its place in the pond. Lake Fitizh, near which there is a village with architectural sights, attracts many tourists in the summer.

Fact 2. Family and Potuskorie
The river Seven is also mentioned in the chronicle of Nestor - the famous "Tale of Bygone Years". It says that the East Slavic tribe of northerners settled on the rivers Desna, Semi and Sula.

From ancient chronicles we learn that the river Seven and its tributary Tuskor (Tuskar) were very important in antiquity. The whole Kursk region was named after these rivers. Thus, wishing to portray the horror of the ruin brought by the Polovtsians in their raid, the chronicler says:

VKur region are preparing to resume work on clearing rivers. One of the symbols of the region, the Sejm River, will become cleaner and deeper. Last year, work was carried out on 17 km of the riverbed, and in this it is planned to clear another 15 km.
