Nyamiha

The Nyamiha or Nemiga (Belarusian: Няміга, [nʲaˈmʲiɣa]; Russian: Немига, [nʲɪˈmʲiɡə] ⓘ) is a river in Minsk.

The medieval epic The Tale of Igor's Campaign refers to the "bloody river banks of Nyamiha," with lines that detail the battle: On the Nemiga the spread sheaves are heads, the flails that threshare of steel, lives are laid out on the threshing floor,

[1] For a long time, it was the second largest river flowing through Minsk, until it was adapted for its urban location by containment within a network of pipes.

Today, the river is a minor feature of the city environment, and the name Nyamiha more commonly refers to the street above.

Another incident on Nyamiha Street occurred on July 25, 2004, when a two-hour downpour in Minsk caused the storm sewers to overflow.
