Прочитайте текст. (При необходимости пользуйтесь словарем). Saratov is a major city and is the administrative centre of the Saratov Region






Saratov is a major city and is the administrative centre of the Saratov Region. To find the city on the map you should look in the south-western European part of Russia on the right bank of the Volga River. The city stretches along the Volga for 50 km and occupies a territory of 377.93 square km between three mountains: Sokolovaya, Lysaya, and Altynnaya.

The city is divided into six districts: Leninskiy, Zavodskoy, Oktyabrskiy, Kirovskiy, Volzhskiy, and Fruzenskiy. Leninskiy is the largest district while Frunzenskiy is the smallest but most populous, due to its very high density.

As for the name Saratov, the strongest theory suggests that it was derived from the Tatar words " Sary Tau", meaning " yellow mountain".

With a population of 878, 900, Saratov is the fifteenth largest city in Russia. In 1991 it was home to more than 900, 000 people, but Saratov has had a slight population loss. Saratov is a multinational city; the people who live here are a mixture of Russian, Tatar, Ukrainian, Bashkir, German, Caucasian and other nationalities.
