This article appears in Volume V25, Page 237 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SLAVYANSK , a town of
Russia
 , in the government of Kharkov, 158 m. by
rail
  S.E. of the town of Kharkov, on the Torets river and close by several
salt
  lakes, from which
salt
  is extracted. Pop. (1897) 15,644. There are soap, candle and tallow-works. Slavyansk carries on a brisk
trade
  in salt, cattle and tallow. The ancient name of Slavyansk was Tor. The town, which is supposed to occupy the site of a former
settlement
  of the Torks (Turks), who inhabited the
steppes
  of the Don, was founded in 1676 by the Russians to protect the salt marshes. Having an open steppe behind it, this fort was often destroyed by the
Tatars
 . Its salt
trade
  became insignificant in the 18th
century
  and only revived towards the end of the 19th
century
 .
