The Moscow Canal - until 1947 called Moscow-Volga Canal - is a canal that connects the Moskva River with the main transportation artery of European Russia, the Volga. It is located in Moscow and Tver Oblasts north of Moscow. The Moscow Canal, constructed by gulag prisoners during Stalin's term in office, begins in the Ivankovo Reservoir near the town of Dubna and connects with the Moskva River.
