The river is mentioned by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC as Borysthenes, the Roman historians called it Danaper and its Old Slavic name used at times of Kievan Rus' was Slavutich. The Dnieper finds its source in Valday Hills (central Russia) and runs south eventually flowing into the Black Sea. 115 km of its length serves as a natural border between Belarus and Ukraine.
