The oldest city of the republic changed its name several times, in the 15th century it was called Tigina, and even earlier - Tyagyanyakyachey. The Russian Orthodox Saint Sergius of Radonezh became his "heavenly patron", on whose day this city appeared in the annals of history. Bendery is the only city in Pridnestrovie that received the honorary title of "City of Military Glory" for its repeated courage.
A spectacular motocross championship, colorful exhibitions, fun fairs, colorful farmsteads, demonstration workshops, exciting games, competitions, entertaining concerts and fireworks - all this and much more delighted Bendery residents and city guests on October 8. Despite the fact that the celebration fell on a weekday, the atmosphere was festive. Those who could not go to the city during the day appreciated the concert program in the evening.
"Caravan" could not ignore Bender's birthday and personally made sure that the holiday was a success. About the mood that prevailed on October 8 in Bendery and what its residents and guests think about the city, our correspondent asked people on the main square.
Raisa Vasilievna:“I am a local, I have been living in Bendery since 1975. I would never change our cozy, good-natured, green, compact city. I really love the Benderskaya embankment, local history and art museums, fountains, Gorky Park, although it is now a little “fell asleep”, but I think that with the help of the townspeople it will wake up. I work at a school, and today I was the organizer of a school exhibition, I looked at our artists with pleasure, and in the evening I came to a concert. The only thing I didn't like was the square where everyone drinks and eats. In my opinion, this place is not meant for that, especially on a day like this. It blurred the picture a bit. Everything else was very well organized."
Dmitriy:“I am from Bender, but I live in Tiraspol. Decided to visit native city on his birthday. Today I saw both exhibitions and a fair, but most of all I liked the concert. Our Bendery is a good, beautiful, ancient city, many great people were born here. I also want to say that the Benders have endured a lot in their time. This speaks of the heroism of its inhabitants. Happy birthday, Bender, prosperity to you and all the best!”.
Tatyana:“I want to convey huge greetings from the capital, congratulate the people of Bendery on their anniversary, wish everyone happiness, joy and good luck. This city is very beautiful and bright, good people live in it. I work here, I come from Tiraspol every day. Today, due to work, my child and I got to the holiday in the evening, but we are still satisfied with the concert program.”
Alla Alexandrovna:“The mood is excellent, a wonderful concert. In addition, on this joyful day for us, nature itself congratulated the city, giving Bendery a long-awaited Indian summer. Our city is very beautiful, it is great to live in it. Bender has an ancient and interesting story. The Turks built their fortress here. We have been visited by many celebrities, Alexander Pushkin himself came here at one time. Our city is very persistent, it has survived many wars, but everything ended happily, and it survived. I wish all the people of Bendery health, peace, a bright sky above their heads.”
Anna:“Today I performed on stage near the Tkachenko Palace of Culture, so to speak, defended the honor of our city. There was a good program - various teams demonstrated folk dances, oriental, hip-hop. All performed beautifully. Since I was busy myself, I didn’t manage to see everything, but I liked what I saw. Many people came out for the holiday, they were not afraid of the frost in the evening. We have a clean, wonderful city, which smells of all sorts of delicious things and cheerful people live. I wish Bendery development only for the better, so that events are held every time in the same organized manner, and that a sunny mood always reigns in the city.”
Anatoly:“Today I was at work, as soon as I was free, I decided to come to the concert to celebrate the holiday in a pleasant atmosphere. In my opinion, this is a beautiful, neat city that has prospects. I am not local, but in the future I plan to have a family, children and live here.”
Catherine and Catherine:“Our city is bright and flourishing, and people here are smiling, incendiary, they love to sing and dance. We were at the festival during the day, here they sold pastries, sausages, clothes, stationery - various manufacturers and craftsmen exhibited their products and works. We especially liked the painted bread and beaded crafts. But most of all, I was surprised and pleased that today simple people they sing on stage, as in karaoke, we have never had this before. We would like to wish our city even more prosperity, so that such festive and bright evenings are held more often.”
Lyudmila Ivanovna and Nina Dmitrievna: « wonderful holiday and a nice gift to the townspeople. Very beautiful illumination, it is clear that the city lives. We are pleased that after work we were able to get to the center. We wish that peace reigned in our city, there was respect and understanding between people, and good job to have everyone. This city means a lot to us. We have an excellent local history museum with interesting exhibits, a fortress with a museum has been opened. Bendery is a well-groomed, pleasant, calm city. It is small and cozy - in an hour you can go around it all. We have visited different cities of Russia and other countries, but our Benders are the best.”
Novel:“This is a clean and spiritual city in every sense. And the people here are good. I periodically left Bender, but always returned, because this is my city. Here are my roots, and I am drawn here. Bender has a rich history. There were Turks, Romanian invaders, Germans. A lot of things happened here, but the city always got out of trouble with honor. I wish our city to develop. I would like everything to be more organized for young people, in common days there are few places to stay. I wish people not to lose hope, so that everything is fine in their souls, and then the walls of our city will grow stronger.
Oleg Alexandrovich:“I came from St. Petersburg to my relatives on vacation and got to this wonderful celebration. Everything is beautifully organized - there are playgrounds for young people, and for children, and for the older generation, many open cafes where you can sit, relax, listen to music of different directions. I especially liked the exhibition of children's drawings on the square near the cinema. Also made me happy fireworks which took place at 9 pm. It was quite a long colorful fireworks display. Everything was great. In my opinion, the city of Bender is very beautiful, it has a lot of greenery, we have less in St. Petersburg. The people here are friendly and hospitable. I wish the city further prosperity, the people - constant work, so that the well-being of people grows, and they rest more often.

Dniester originates on the eastern slopes of the Carpathians, on Mount Rozluch, near the village. Vovche Lviv region. Descending from a height of about 900 m above sea level, the river, like a mountain stream, makes its way along the Ciscarpathian region, crosses the southwestern part of the Podolsk Upland, flows through Moldova, then enters its territory and flows into the Dniester estuary again on the territory of Ukraine as an impressive navigable river. The length of the river is 1362 km, the area of the basin is 72100 km2.
The origin of the name "Dniester" has not been finally established. It is believed that the first part of it follows from the words "dana", "bottom", "don", which means "river". The second part of the name is derived from words that mean "southern". Therefore, "Dniester" - "southern river". There are other arguments about the origin of its name.
Up to the city of Galich, the river stands out for its mountainous character. From s. Nizhneva to the river. Zbruch Dniester runs along a canyon-like valley.

Dniester river
From source to delta
The Dniester River flows through the countries of Eastern Europe and crosses these countries such as Ukraine and Moldova. The source is located in the Carpathians at an altitude of 911 meters. It is next to the Ukrainian village of Volchie, 8 km from the Polish border. Rozlukh Range extends 2 km from the village.
It has several peaks about 900 meters high. The highest peak is Chontievka. Its height reaches 913 meters. Here on the slope the top is off the ground and a small stream is flowing. It connects with many other streams and gradually forms a river that carries its waters in the southwest.
Then it turns to the northwest, between Dankovets and Stary Polyarny, it is directed to the southwest and is located in a narrow valley where the village of Volchiy is located.
It then plunges the watercourse to the northwest. Here it flows into small rivers such as Zhukotinets, Dniester-Dub, Malinovskaya, Stryi and Kruglaya.
The stream is getting wider and deeper, but given the local topography, it has the character of a mountain river. It quickly transfers its waters at the foot of the Carpathians, turns to the southeast and is located near the Ukrainian city of Galich.
The last notes
Here the flow slows down, and the river takes on exactly the nature.
It constantly moves towards Moldova and absorbs such tributaries as Smotrych, Zolotaya Lime, Strypa and Zbrukh. On the territory of Moldova, the length of the Dniester is 660 km. The coastal relief in these places is characterized by steep banks intertwined with numerous ravines.
In the village of Vyhvatintsy begins Reservoir Dubossary.
It was designed with a dam built in Dubossari in 1955. The length of the tank is 128 km. The average width is 528 meters. The maximum depth is 19 meters, with an average of 7 meters.
The area reaches 67.5 square meters. km. On the bank of the reservoir there is a natural reserve "Yagorlyk" with unique fauna and flora.
According to Dubossari, the flow of water spreads across the width. The width of the river valley reaches 16 km. The slope of the river bed is very small and is characterized by floods. In Moldova, the river feeds tributaries such as the Botna, Reut and Bull. At 150 km from the mouth, in the area of the great village of Chobruchi, the river separates a branch called Turanchuk.
Its length is 60 km with a maximum depth of 9 meters and a width of 30 meters. Once again, the main waterway is once again united on the territory of Ukraine.
This is the kingdom of many lakes, an area of 39.5 square meters.
km. The largest of them are Lake Beloe and the mouth of Kuchurgan. The latter is located on the border of Moldova and the Odessa region. It is 17 km long and 3 km wide with an average depth of 3.5 m.
Dniester on the map of Eastern Europe
Reunited with Turunchuk, one stream of water flows into the mouth of the Dniester.
This is the Black Sea Bay, located in the Odessa region. Its length is 41 km, the average width is 8 km, and the average depth is 2.7 meters. The estuary is separated from the sea by the narrow lid of the Bugaz. In the past, the mouth was called Ovidi Lake.
The Dniester is 1362 km long. The area of the pool is 72 thousand square meters. km. The river delta is full of swamps and lakes. This is a favorite nesting place for a large number of different birds.
In the Odessa region there is a protected natural border named "Dniester blue",
Feeding the river
Water flows with rain and snow. The river is characterized by an overflow between summer earthworms. Floods are frequent. In winter, given the warm winters, the stream almost freezes over. Ice cover is very rare and lasts a maximum of one month. The waters of the Dniester need big cities like Odessa and Chisinau for their needs.
On the river in the upper limits the forest merges. Concerning environment the water is heavily polluted.
shipping
Ships go along the river from the Moldovan city of Soroca to Lake Dubossary and from the dam to the exit from the Dniester. Delivery is made almost every year. The flow of water, which begins near the Polish border, is of great economic importance for Ukraine and for Moldova.
It irrigates the land, gives water to the inhabitants of many cities, and carries cargo. Without this important waterway, life in this region would be unimaginable.

There are excerpts from wikipedia on this article and video
The Dniester begins on the northern slopes of the Carpathians, from Mount Rozluch, near the village. Volchiy, Lviv region. Descending from a height of about 900 m above sea level, the river in a mountain stream makes its way along the Ciscarpathian region, crosses the southwestern edge of the Podolsk Upland, flows along the border of Ukraine with Moldova, then enters its territory and flows into the Dniester estuary again in the territory of a significant navigable river. Ukraine. The length of the river is 1362 km, the basin area is 72100 sq. km.
The origin of the name "Dniester" is not completely clear. It is believed that the first part of it comes from the words "Given", "Dna", "Don", which means "river". The second part of the name is derived from words that mean "southern". Therefore, the Dniester is the "Southern River". There are other thoughts regarding the origin of its name.
The Dniester basin borders in the south and south west on the rivers that carry their waters to the Danube - Tisza and Prut, in the west and north west - on the tributaries of the Vistula San and the Western Bug, in the north - on the right tributaries of the Pripyat Stir and Gorynya and in the east - with the Southern Bug and its tributaries.
Forests in the river basin cover the slopes of the Carpathians, and their peaks, occupied by meadows, are meadows. In the mountains, coniferous trees predominate at a height, and deciduous trees predominate below. There are few forests in the flat part of the Dniester basin, deciduous species predominate: oak, ash, maple, linden, hornbeam, beech is found in the western part of Podolia. Forest cover is 13.2% of the basin area, waterlogging - 1.5%, lakes - 0.5%.
The channel of the Dniester is very twisted. The river network is unevenly developed. The highest density is observed in the upper part of the basin, especially the right bank, where the Dniester receives a large number of high-water tributaries that originate in the Carpathians. The tributaries that begin at the Roztochie or Podolsk Upland are shallow. In the middle reaches of the Dniester, it receives mainly left tributaries, and there are very few of them in the lower reaches.
In the upper part (up to the town of Sambir) the Dniester is a typical mountain river that flows in a narrow valley between rocky swift banks. Having reached the plain, the Dniester, within the limits of the Sansko-Dnistrovskaya lowland, flows in a wide swampy valley, its course becomes calmer. In the middle part, in a deep narrow valley in the Dniester bed, dense limestones and sandstones come to the surface, and below Kamenets-Podolsky - crystalline rocks (granites, gneisses, syenite), which form rapids near the village of Yampol. Below Dubosar, the Dniester has a wide backwater cut by numerous straits and lakes. The river valley here reaches 8-16 km. The lowest part of the Dniester is located within the Black Sea Lowland.
The Dniester carries a lot of water. The increased water content is due to the fact that top part its basin is located in the Carpathians. It is there that the numerous and high-water right tributaries of the Dniester begin, which flow into it in the area from the source to the town of Bystritsy Nadvirnyanskaya. They begin at an altitude of 800 to 1500 m and acquire features characteristic of mountain rivers in this section of the upper Dniester regime.
The flow of the Dniester is characterized by an almost continuous chain of floods that pass along the river, both in spring and in summer and autumn. High floods are caused by sudden melting of snow, rain, and in summer heavy downpours. Summer floods often exceed spring floods in height. The waters of the Dniester during floods carry a lot of sediment.
Below Sambir, where the Dniester enters the Sansko-Dniester lowland, during high levels he gives part of his water to the Cherry (a tributary of the San). It was once designed to connect the Dniester by a canal with the rivers of the Vistula basin.
The Dniester ran deep into the granite base of the Podolsk Upland - in some places it seems to flow in a deep canyon. High rocky shores sometimes resemble mountain ranges. On the shores, layers of limestone, shale, and sandstone come to the surface. In places the riverbed is littered with rocks.
The Dniester receives 386 tributaries, of which the most important are: the right ones - Stry, Svecha, Limnica, Bystrica, Reut, Bull; left - Stryvogir, Rotten Linden, Golden Linden, Strypa, Seret, Zbruch, Smotrych, Ushitsa, Murafa.
The Dniester was used as a source of hydropower, for water supply, irrigation; from the mouth to the city of Galich - navigable. The main piers: Galich, Zalishchyky, Khotyn, Stara Ushitsa, Mogiliv-Podolsky, Yampol, Soroki, Rybnitsa, Dubosary, Grigoriopol, Bendery, Tiraspol.
In the upper reaches of the Dniester, on the left bank, lies the city of Sambir, Lviv region. According to ancient legends, the founders of the city were the inhabitants of Old Sambir, destroyed in 1241 by the Mongol-Tatar hordes. The settlement of Pogonich that appeared on this site in the XIV century. renamed Sambir (New).
In Sambir, the remains of ramparts of the 16th-17th centuries, architectural monuments have been preserved: the city hall (1668), the Catholic church (1503), the hunting house of King Stefan Batory (XVI century).
Opposite Sambir, on the Dniester, an island stretches for almost 3 km. Along the bank of the river, floodplains stretched in a wide strip. Here they graze cattle, hunt, prepare hay. Floodplain meadows in this area are criss-crossed by a network of dredged canals, and in the dry season they are a wonderful pasture.
Vereshchitsa - one of the left tributaries of the Dniester in the upper reaches (length 92 km). It originates in Roztochie. The Vereshchitsa River got its name from heather - a shrub with small leaves, which forms continuous thickets - heaths.
Of the right tributaries of the Dniester, we note the Bystrica. Its length is 72 km. Forests in the river basin cover 30% of the area. The very name "Bystrica" testifies to the rapid current. Not far from the confluence with the Dniester, the Bystrica receives the right tributary of the Tysmenitsa, the length of which is 49 km.
On the banks of the twisted Tysmenitsa, in the foothills of the Carpathians, there was a place Bich, significant in the old days. During the Mongol-Tatar invasion, it was destroyed. The inhabitants of the burned Beach became slaves of the Tatars. Later, the Tatar Khan allowed the Bichans to build dwellings above the salt mines. The main occupation of the population was weaving and boiling salt from salt brine, which was mined from the bowels of the earth. Thus, the Second Scourge was born. Subsequently, the city began to be called Drohobych.
In the middle of the XIX century. not far from Drohobych, the development of ozocerite began, and later - oil and combustible gases. In 1900-1910. oil refineries sprang up in the city.
8 km from Drohobych is the Carpathian urban-type settlement Stebnik. It has been known since the 14th century. Since ancient times, the local population of the Carpathians independently mined salt. In 1848, the first salt mine was built in Stebnik, where kitchen salt was mined. In 1848, the first salt mine was built in Stebnik, where kitchen salt was mined. At the end of the third quarter of the XIX century. significant reserves of potash salts were discovered in Stebnik. They form here several layers with layers of rock salt and salt-bearing rocks. Stebnitskaya potassium salt, unlike Kalushskaya (Ivano-Frankivsk region), is an almost finished product.
The length of the Dniester River is 1352 km, the basin area is 72.1 thousand km². It originates in the Ukrainian Carpathians near the village of Volchie on the slopes of Mount Chentyivka (Sarmatian mountains in the Chronicle of Dlugosh) at an altitude of 900 m, flows into the Dniester Estuary, which is connected to the Black Sea. Average consumption water in the lower reaches 310 m³/s. The volume of annual runoff is 10 billion m³.
In the upper reaches of the Dniester flows in a deep narrow valley and has the character of a fast mountain river. The current speed in this area is 2-2.5 m/s. Here, a large number of tributaries flow into the Dniester, originating from the slopes of the Carpathians, mainly on the right. The largest of the tributaries in this area is the Stryi. Below Galich, the current becomes calmer, but the valley remains narrow and deep.
In the middle reaches, tributaries flow only on the left: Golden Linden, Strypa, Seret, Zbruch, Smotrych, Murafa.
On the territory of Ukraine (Khmelnitsky, Chernivtsi and Vinnitsa regions) there is the Dniester reservoir, formed during the construction of the Dniester hydroelectric power station (677.7 km from the mouth of the Dniester, Novodnestrovsk, Chernivtsi region).
The length of the Dniester within Moldova is 660 km. The basin area within Moldova is 19,070 km², which is 57% of its territory. Below Mogilev-Podolsky, the valley expands somewhat, but up to the village of Vykhvatintsy, Rybnitsa region (Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic), the Dniester still flows in a narrow and deep canyon-like valley with high, steep and rocky banks, cut by ravines.
On the site from the village of Vykhvatintsy to the city of Dubossary, the Dubossary reservoir stretches for about 120 km. To the south of Dubossary, the Dniester valley expands noticeably, reaching in its lower reaches up to 10-16 km. Here the slopes of the channel are very small, and the river forms large bends - meanders, the floodplains begin.
In the lower reaches, Reut, Byk, Botna flow into the Dniester on the right. 146 km before the mouth, below the village of Chobruchi, to the left of the Dniester, the Turunchuk branch departs, which reconnects with the Dniester through Lake Beloe, 20 km from the mouth. The Dniester flows into the Dniester estuary, the length of which is 40 km.
The Dniester Delta is a nesting place for a large number of birds; a large number of rare plant species grow on its territory. The lower reaches of the Dniester, in particular the confluence of the Dniester with Turunchuk, are included in the international list of the Ramsar Convention for the Protection of Wetlands.
On the territory of the Odessa region in the floodplains, the reserved tract "Dniester Plavni" was created, which later became part of the Lower Dniester National Natural Park.
The nutrition of the Dniester is snow and rain. Sudden rises in the water level are frequent on the river, especially from the fall of summer heavy rains, often causing floods. Freeze-up is short, in warm winters the river does not freeze at all.
The mineralization of the Dniester water increases downstream from 300 to 450 mg/dm³.
The water of the Dniester is used for water supply to many settlements (for example, Odessa, Chisinau), irrigation; rafting is carried out in the upper reaches of the river.
Navigation is carried out on sections from the city of Soroka to the dam of the Dubossary hydroelectric power station and from the dam of the hydroelectric power station to the mouth.
The cities of Khotyn, Mogilev-Podolsky, Yampol, Soroki, Zalishchyky, Kamenka, Rybnitsa, Dubossary, Grigoriopol, Bendery, Tiraspol, Slobodzeya, Ovidiopol, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky (Akkerman) and others are located on the Dniester.
Part of the state border between Ukraine and Moldova runs along the Dniester.
A fish
Roach, pike, carp, dace, chub, ide, minnow, rudd, asp, tench, crucian carp, common carp, podust, barbel, loach, catfish, burbot, bream, various gobies, river flounder and others constantly live in the Dniester. In the upper reaches of the river there are trout and grayling, and in the lower reaches of the Black Sea, sturgeon and stellate sturgeon enter the Dniester.
Story
From time immemorial, the Dniester served as a busy waterway for the export of goods produced in the Transnistrian region. Herodotus also mentions the Tiras River (the ancient name of the Dniester) and the Tyra colony located at its mouths, which supplied local products ancient Greece. Sources dating back to the 1st century AD. e. point to the right granted to the inhabitants of Tyra to transport goods duty-free.
Later, in the XII century, Russian chronicles indicate the existence of the Belgorod colony in the mouths of Tiras, which arose on the site of the Greek policy of Tyre. Since that time, the trade influence of the Genoese on the Dniester has been increasing. They establish a number of trading posts on the river, for the protection of which they build fortresses in Bendery (Mold. Tigina, Tigina, tour. Tyaginya Kacha), Soroki (ancient Olkhion), Khotyn and Belgorod, the remains of which have also survived to this day. The most important Genoese trading post was Belgorod (Italian: Moncastro, Moncastro, Mold. Cetatea Alba, Cetatea Alba), which was protected by an earthen rampart and turned into a fortress. The Genoese are credited with introducing on the Dniester, for the rafting of cargo, a type of vessel known as a galley (which is a rectangular box) with a carrying capacity of 12 tons. Insignificant draft allowed the galleys to pass even the shallowest sections of the Dniester.
Later, with the capture by the Turks of Moncastro, which they renamed Akkerman, as well as when the territory of the lower and middle Dniester came under the rule of the Turks, the commercial importance of the Dniester began to decline and the region adjacent to this became an arena for frequent wars between the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Poland and Zaporozhye whip. Only with the accession in 1791, according to the Yassy Treaty, of the region between the Southern Bug and the Dniester to Russia, did local wholesale trade and Dniester shipping begin to revive again, and by the beginning of the 20th century it reached a large scale.
The only ship that existed on the river, the galley, actually served as the initial reason for the government's concerns about the establishment of the Dniester navigation. In 1881, the Bessarabian zemstvos submitted a memorandum to the Minister of Railways, in which it was found out that the ever-increasing competition of the North American States, which had already ousted Russian wheat from some markets in Western Europe, due to the danger and high cost of transporting bread along the Dniester, puts Pridnestrovian the region is in a critical situation, despite the fact that the actual cheapness of bread production, in comparison with America, remains on the side of the Bessarabian producers. Indeed, the cost of delivering a pood of wheat, taken on the banks of the middle Dniester (between Mogilev and Soroka), passed through Odessa shops and handed over to a ship in the port of Odessa to be sent abroad, reached 40 kopecks or more, and even then only under favorable conditions. .
A number of attempts were made to open steamship traffic on the Dniester. So, in 1843, the Russian government ordered a steamer in England called the Dniester, but on the very first voyage it could not pass the Chobruch bends (rifts near the village of Chobruchi) and reach the city of Tiraspol. In 1847, the steamship "Luba" appeared on the Dniester, 90 feet long, 14 feet wide and with a draft of 2 feet, but it also encountered serious difficulties when sailing along the river and soon left the Dniester. With the establishment in 1857 of the "Russian Society of Shipping and Trade", he sent the steamer "Brother" to the Dniester, which was also forced to abandon the movement on the river. Popovich's attempt, made in 1864 with the steamer "Maria", led to the same disappointing result. In 1867, a steamship society was formed by Prince Lev Sapega, but the very first steamship, the Dniester, having passed down the river, was forced to leave forever for the Black Sea, and the society itself fell apart. Finally, in 1872, Pomero, using high water, went on a steamer along the Dniester to Mogilev and back, but this fact could not restore steamship traffic along the river.
Among all these attempts, the expedition undertaken in 1881 by the “Russian Society of Shipping and Trade” to finally resolve the issue of whether the Dniester is naturally capable of steamship traffic deserves special attention. This expedition led to the conviction that in order to establish a shipping company on the Dniester, preliminary serious measures were needed to improve the river channel. Since 1884, it has been criminalized to work on the excavation of stones from the Dniester bed, clearing the rapids with dynamite and deepening the shallowest rifts of the Dniester by building stone correctional structures and dredging. To reimburse the government's expenses for improving the river, the Supremely approved opinion of the State Council of November 29, 1883 established a special fee of 1% of the cost of Dniester cargo in excess of the ¼% shipping fee that exists on all rivers of the Russian Empire.
From the beginning of work in 1884 to 1893, about 1 million rubles were spent on improving the Dniester, and thanks to the work done, the river became available for towing and passenger shipping, which did not slow down to develop on it, and the amount of cargo began to increase rapidly and increased in 4 times, as can be seen from the following table:
In 1887, the Society of Shipping and Trade in Bendery built a vessel adapted for navigation on the Dniester, called the Dniester.
In 1900, two passenger-and-freight steamships made regular trips along the Dniester along the Bendery-Tiraspol-Akkerman line. In the period up to 1917, the steamers Bendery, Bogatyr, George the Victorious, Korshun, Maria and others plied the river.
From 1918 to 1940, the Dniester served as a demarcation line between Romania and the USSR and was strictly guarded. In the coastal villages, the Romanian authorities were allowed to turn on the light in the houses only with tightly closed shutters. During this period, navigation along the Dniester was stopped and resumed only in 1940.
During the Great Patriotic War The Dniester became the scene of battles between the German-Romanian invaders and the Soviet army (see Iasi-Kishinev operation).
In 1954, a hydroelectric dam without locks was built near Dubossary and the Dubossary reservoir arose. In this regard, regular navigation became possible only in two isolated areas: from the city of Soroca to the dam of the Dubossary hydroelectric power station and from the dam of the hydroelectric power station to the mouth.
In the 40-70s. sand and gravel mixture used in construction was mined from the bottom of the river. In the late 1980s, environmentalists came to the conclusion that further extraction of the mixture could damage the Dniester, and it was discontinued. In connection with the collapse of the USSR and the economic crisis in the 1990s, navigation on the Dniester significantly decreased, and in the 2000s it practically ceased, with the exception of the navigation of small boats and pleasure boats in the area of Tiraspol and Bendery.
