Plagiarism: Example I The Volga is the largest river in Europe in terms of length, discharge, and watershed. It goes through western Russia and people say its the national river of Russia, flowing through eleven of the twenty biggest cities in Russia. Some of the largest reservoirs in the world can be found along the Volga. A Russian hydronym "Волга" is akin to the Slavic word for "wetness. "
Plagiarism: Example II Kaliningrad is a ice-free Russian Baltic Sea port and hence plays an important role in maintenance of the Baltic Fleet. Because Russia collapsed in 1991, the Kaliningrad Oblast became an exclave, geographically separated from the rest of Russia. It was a part from the rest of the USSR and got even more pronounced politically when Poland Lithuania became members of NATO and subsequently the European Union in 2004. [9]
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET!

“Europe” But where is Phoenicia? According to many scholars, the word “Europe” originally comes from the word “Ereb, ” a Phoenician word meaning “sunset. ”
