Volgograd, Russia, 1992 Photograph by James P. Blair The Red October
Steel Works stands alongside the Volga Matushka, or Mother Volga.
Although not much trash can be seen in the water or along the shore,
the Volga River is polluted by agrochemicals from farms and heavy
metals from the factories that line its banks.
