Grand Tsimlyansk Reservoir

Tsimlyanskoye Sea, as proudly called the reservoir of the locals, was artificially created in 1952, during the construction of the hydroelectric station. Even before the water was filled with water, much controversy was taking place because historical monuments, such as the Sarkel fortress, which belonged to the Khazars in ancient times, and several Cossack villages and farms that historically were associated with Pugachev and Razin, entered the flooding zone.

In addition to historians, biologists were also worried, and, apparently, not for nothing: after the creation of the reservoir, the hydrological background of the Azov Sea deteriorated sharply.

On the territory occupied by the Tsimlyansk reservoir, there are well-known reserves and reserves, the largest of which are Rostovsky and Tsimlyansky. Employees of these reserves are actively engaged in environmental and scientific activities. Large-scale work is carried out to protect the soil, the state of rare flora and fauna is studied. It is safe to say that Tsimlyansk reservoir is not only a powerful symbol of human capabilities, but also an example of a rash and hasty decision that has negative consequences for nature.
