amur

See Rostov-na-Donu (Rostov-on-Don, Rostov on the Don River), Komsomolsk-na-Amur (Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Komsomolsk on the Amur river)...

Also, the distances are massive - Chukota to the Amur is the same distance as Paris to Baghdad, except with a fraction of the population density.

Roscosmos are working on a launch system with a re-usable first stage, Soyuz-7 or Amur [1].

On the other hand, the border across the Amur in Heilongjiang province is porous, there is no shortage of imported cases.

But Vladivostok and the Amur river region is defended by an overhyped, depleted, substandard, number-2-only-inside-Ukraine, army.

The Amur Honeysuckle I've been systematically removing still have beautiful leaves even in early Autumn, untouched by mold or bug.

Whether Amur will ever fly, or even become hardware...

Thanks - I'm surprised that Amur is also on the list.

I see that Baikonur doesn't get a lot of precipitation, but that doesn't explain Amur Oblast which looks comparable to a place like Cleveland in terms of temperature and precipitation.

The Asiatic black bear, leopard, Eurasian lynx, and Goral sheep have made a comeback, and perhaps even the very rare Amur tiger - which some US soldiers say has been captured on video by surveillance teams.

Anecdotally, looking at the invasive Amur Honeysuckle on my property, its leaves remain pristinely green well into Fall, but by comparison, other comparable native plants have leaves eaten by insects, covered in molds, etc.

That being said, Russia has always been close to India ever since the Soviet Era, even though India didn't embrace communism, largely because of the shared history of being opposed by the US at every step, and a mutual interest in curtailing China (which claims a significant part of Russian Amur as part of its Greater China project).

I'd recommend "The Tiger" as an interesting book about the Amur Tigers and their interaction with Russian society.

Not as "cool" as the SpaceX stuff, but Angara, Amur, Soyuz-5, Soyuz-7 are all in the works.

That border is either mountain ranges (Altai), or empty steppes (Zabaikalsk), or boreal forests (Amur and Vladivostok).

Fer a Amur'can down yonder in Ohayo, thees transkripshun prahbly maeks sum sens, wunce y'all git past th' skwaw.

Virtually all of the Trans-Siberian railroad (except for the Amur-Yakutsk spur) is below the Canadian North.
