Moksha (river)

Prices on the Moksha River built Rasypukhinsky hydro-power plant with a hydroelectric power station and a wooden shipping lock.

It is suggested that in the language of Indo-European aborigines moksha meant "stream, current, river" and as a term entered into a series of hydronyms (Shirmksha, Mamoksha, etc.).

[2] The name "Moksha" is mentioned by the monk-minorite Rubruk, the ambassador of the French King Louis IX to the Mongolian khan Sartak (1253).

It is also the self-designation for the eponymous Finno-Ugric ethnic group of Mokshas that have settled between the river and its tributary Oka as a tribe before the Middle Ages.

The constant flow of water is observed below the confluence of the hollow from the holy spring, where a small extension of the channel also forms.

Along the banks of the stream, shrubs of willows, thickets of broadleaf cattails, reeds of forest and some other moisture-loving plants grow in the water.
