According to legend, the muddy water in the Severka River is due to the fact that, going on a campaign against Mamai, Moscow Prince Dmitry Ivanovich ate a handful of illuminated earth. This was done by him to prove his love for the motherland. He spat black saliva into the water from the steep bank, and since then the water in the river has been muddy and gray. And old willows grow along the shore, bending their branches to the very water.
Description of the river
The Severka River flows in the southeast of Moscow and the Moscow region - it is the right tributary of Moscow. It takes its source from the village of Stepygino, located in the Domodedovo district.

Size and name of the river
The river has a fairly fast current, and the width is not very large, about 3-4 meters. But the bed is tortuous. Some of its sections are completely overgrown with willow, while others have a shallow depth, for example, near the village of Lipkino. In summer, due to the lack of water level in the reservoir, there are places that are completely overgrown.reeds. A dam was installed near the village of Meshchereno. The river got its name from the temperature of the water: it is cool in any weather. Not cold, but refreshing and invigorating in the summer heat.
