From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mologa River (Russian: Молога) is a river in Tver, Novgorod and Vologda Oblasts of Russia. It is a left tributary of the Volga River, flowing into the Rybinsk Reservoir. The river freezes up in the late October - early December and stays under the ice until April - early May.
The towns of Bezhetsk, Pestovo, and Ustyuzhna are situated along the Mologa River. A historic town of Mologa used to stand at the confluence of the Mologa river with the Volga, but it was submerged under water as the Rybinsk Reservoir was filled in 1947.
