From Wikipedia: The Russian River is a 13-mile-long (21-kilometer) river on the Kenai Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It flows northward from Upper Russian Lake in the Kenai Mountains through Lower Russian Lake, draining into the Kenai River near the town of Cooper Landing. The native Denaina people called this river Chunuk'tnu. Excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Russian River (Alaska), available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
