The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Brahinka or Braginka (Belarusian: Belarusian pronunciation: [braˈɣʲinka]) is a short winding river in the Brahin District of Belarus. Its length is 179 km. It falls into Pripyat just above its falling into Dnieper. Part of the river flows through the radioactive zone of alienation, and the river itself is under regular control for nuclear pollution. The small settlement of Brahin stands on the banks of the river. Konstantin Paustovsky's short story (The Inn on the Braginka) from 1946 is set here.

Flows through: Ukraine.
