* Saratov is a major city in southern Russia. It is the administrative center of Saratov Oblast and a major port on the Volga River. Ukek, a city of the Golden Horde, was situated near the site of the modern city of Saratov from the mid 13th century until its destruction in 1395. The modern city was founded in 1590.
Saratov Bridge across the Volga River was the longest bridge in the Soviet Union upon its inauguration in 1965. Its length is 2,803.7 meters (9,198 ft). It connects Saratov on the right (west) bank of the Volga, with the city of Engels on the left (east) bank.
