Severka

Severka, a Russian word, commonly refers to the "Little North" or the "Northern Star". It can have several related meanings and usages depending on the context:

• Literal Meaning: The diminutive form of "sever," which means "north" in Russian. Therefore, "Severka" literally translates to "Little North."

• Northern Star/Pole Star: Sometimes used poetically or figuratively to refer to the Pole Star (Polaris), a guiding light in the Northern Hemisphere. It embodies the idea of direction, guidance, and a fixed point in the vastness of the northern sky.

• Geographical Significance: Can refer to a smaller or lesser-known geographical area in the northern regions, often used affectionately or descriptively to denote a smaller northern territory compared to the broader "North" (Sever).

• Figurative Use: Severka can symbolize something that is of northern origin, associated with northern characteristics (such as coldness, resilience, or purity), or holds a sentimental value connected to the north.
