Balchug
Balchug (, ), also known as Bolotny Island ("The Marsh Island", ), is an island in the very centre of Moscow, Russia, in between the Moskva River (right across from the Kremlin) and its old riverbed, which was turned into the Vodootvodny Canal in 1786. Like other islands on Moskva River, it does not have an official Russian name; rather, each neighborhood on the island has its own name. "Balchug" refers to the Balchug Street, which crosses the island's center parallel to the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge, and three city blocks around it. The island represents a key part of the historical Zamoskvorechye area.
