BEREZINA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 771 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BEREZINA , a river of
Russia
 , in the government of
Minsk
 , forming a tributary of the
Dnieper
 . It rises in the marshes of Borizov and flows
south
 , inclining to
east
 , for 350 M. (250 M. navigable), for the most
part
  through low-lying but well-wooded country. As a navigable river, and forming a portion of the canal
system
  which unites the Black Sea with the Baltic, it is of importance for commerce, but is subject to severe floods. It was just above Borizov that
Napoleon
 's army forced the passage of the Berezina, with enormous losses, on the 26th28th of November 1812, during the
retreat
  from Moscow.
