description
The Pachra is 135 kilometers long and flows its entire course through the area of Moscow Oblast . It rises in swamp areas near the city of Naro-Fominsk , a good 70 km southwest of Moscow , bypasses the latter on a very winding course to the south and flows into the Moskva near Mjachkowo between the cities of Lytkarino and Zhukovsky . The only city that lies directly on the Pachra is the large city of Podolsk . The largest tributaries are Desna , Motscha and Roschaja , in addition, a total of around 230 small tributaries and streams flow into the Pachra, which rises in its lower reaches to a width of up to 40 meters and a depth of eight meters in places.
In addition to the water that flows fed predominantly meltwater the Pakhra River. In the period from November or December to March or April, the river freezes over, and in some places there is no ice cover due to the warm industrial wastewater, even in winter. In the summer months, the area around the Pachra is popular as a recreational destination for the Moscow population due to its scenic attractiveness: There are a large number of dachas , sanatoriums and other leisure and recreation facilities along both banks . On the banks of the Pachra there is also Gorki Leninskiye , a former country estate that served as a suburban residence for the first Soviet head of state Lenin in the early 1920s .
The hydronym Pachra comes from one of the Finno-Ugric languages that were spoken in what is now the greater Moscow area before Russian colonization began in the 11th century, and there may mean something like "flowing out of a lake". In medieval Moscow , the pachra served as a trade route and was used by smaller ships. Today it is considered not navigable on its entire course.
