Desna (Guslitsa)

Desna (Guslitsa) refers to a river in Russia, specifically the Desna River in the Guslitsa area. It is a tributary of the Nerskaya River, which in turn flows into the Moskva River. The Guslitsa area, historically known for its Old Believer communities, is located southeast of Moscow in the Moscow Oblast. Therefore, the Desna (Guslitsa) is a geographically specific instance of the more common river name "Desna," distinguished by its location within the Guslitsa region. It is a relatively small river, characteristic of the landscape in that part of Russia. While not of major industrial or navigational significance, it forms a part of the local ecosystem and hydrological network.
