Approximate extent of the East European Plain.[1]

TheEast European Plain (also called theRussian Plain,[2] or historically theSarmatic Plain)[3] is a vast interiorplain extending east of theNorth European Plain,[4] and comprising severalplateaus stretching roughly from 25degreeslongitude eastward. It includesVolhynian-Podolian Upland on its westernmost fringe, theCentral Russian Upland, and, on the eastern border, encompasses theVolga Upland. The plain includes also a series of majorriver basins such as theDnieper Lowland, theOka–Don Lowland, and theVolga Basin. At the southeastern point of the East European Plain are theCaucasus andCrimeanmountain ranges.[4] Together with theNorth European Plain (covering much of Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Poland), and covering theBaltic states (Estonia,Latvia andLithuania),European Russia,Belarus,Ukraine,Moldova, southeasternRomania, and, at its southernmost point, theDanubian Plain inNorthern Bulgaria (includingLudogorie andSouthern Dobruja), it constitutes the majority of theGreat European Plain (European Plain), the greatest mountain-free part of the European landscape.[5] The plain spans approximately 4,000,000 km2 (2,000,000 sq mi) and averages about 170 m (560 ft) in elevation. The highest point of the plain (480 metres (1,574.8 ft)) is in theBugulma-Belebey Upland, in the Eastern part of the plain, in the elevated area by theUral Mountains (priyralie).[6][7]
