metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The ancient Cossack portages through the Volga upland — perevoloka — were the main
  transport communications between the Volga and the Don in the 16th–17th centuries in the
  area of their maximum convergence. Repeated attempts to construct the Volga-Don shipping
  canal along one of these portages were made in the Middle Ages but were crowned with
  success only in Soviet times. This issue has not been sufficiently studied in the scholarhsip.
  Researchers have written about three old Cossack portages: Kamyshinskii, Dubovskii, and
  Tsaritsynskii. Practically nothing is known about the Sarpin portage. As a result of the conducted
  research, the authors of the article come to the conclusion that originally the area
  between the Volga and the Don was called perevoloka, which was limited to the mouths of the
  Don rivers — Tsaritsa and Panshinka — and the Volga rivers — Mechetka and Sarpa. It was
  here that Turkish soldiers in the 16th century tried to build a canal. At the beginning of the
  17th century, after the construction of the Tsaritsyn fortress at the mouth of the Tsaritsa river,
  the Don Cossacks mastered the Kamyshinskii-Ilovlinskii portage, making it the main one and
  thereby expanding the territory of the portage. Through this portage, Peter the Great made a
  second attempt to establish the Volga-Don canal between the rivers Kamyshinka and Ilovlia,
  for which, in order to protect the future waterway between the Volga and the Don, he built the
  Tsaritsyn line on the perevoloka.
