The Central Russian Upland is a significant geographical region located in western Russia. It is characterized by rolling hills, plateaus, and a mix of forests and agricultural land. This upland area plays a crucial role in the country's drainage system, as many rivers, including the Oka and Don, originate here. The region is part of the larger East European Plain and has an average elevation of about 200 to 300 meters. The climate is continental, with cold winters and warm summers, making it suitable for various crops. The upland is also rich in natural resources, including minerals and fertile soil.
