 涅瓦河畔會舊客 俄歐峰會無新意

列寧格勒 歷史名詞 不過有冬宮博物館 有圍城的許多感人故事
徐訏1973很失望  因為詩人安在 (多在美國......) 他只好顧河影自憐

《列寧格勒的詩》
閃耀在納佛河 Neva River 的暗淡的流光，
像我心中的跳躍。
那陌生的河中
竟有我熟識的流水，
它在甬江*裏如此，
它在攤江**裏如此，
它在揚子江裏如此，
它入海，
再載著我的倒影，
慢慢的遠去，
慢慢的老去，
慢慢的淡去……..


*甬江是寧波的母親河，由奉化江和姚江兩江匯集而成，是浙江省七大水系之一。甬江全長105公里，流域面積4518平方公里。

Localization of the Neva River

The Neva (Russian: Нева́, IPA: [nʲɪˈva]) is a river in northwestern Russia flowing from Lake Ladoga through the western part of Leningrad Oblast (historical region of Ingria) to the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland. Despite its modest length (74 km), it is the third largest river in Europe in terms of average discharge (after the Volga and the Danube).
The Neva is the only river flowing from Lake Ladoga. It flows through the city Saint Petersburg, three smaller towns of Shlisselburg, Kirovsk and Otradnoye, and dozens of settlements. The river is navigable throughout and is part of the Volga–Baltic Waterway and White Sea – Baltic Canal. It is a site of numerous major historical events, including the Battle of the Neva in 1240 which gave Alexander Nevsky his name, the founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703, and the Siege of Leningrad by the German army during World War II.

Etymology

There are at least three versions of the origin of the name Neva: from the ancient Finnish name of Lake Ladoga (Finnish: nevo meaning sea), from the Finnish: neva (short from Finnish: Nevajoki, Nevajärvi) meaning swamp, or from the Swedish: ny – new river.^[1] Modern names for the distributaries of the river delta were settled only by the end of the 18th century.
