Springtime Floods in Southern Russia

In the three weeks that passed between April 14, 2005, and May 7, 2005, the icy landscape of Southern Russia has melted away into the soggy green of spring. The Volga River and its tributaries are swollen with melting snow and ice. According to local news reports, as many as 700 homes have been flooded throughout Russia, with the worst flooding occurring in the south.
