I agree that it must be the Vivi river, south of the Kraskoe More.  The
audio tape sounded like "Vivida", the speaker probably said "Vivi Ryeka"
(Vivi River) and thus was mis-heard by the listener.  An interesting
question!  Portia Chambliss, Seattle Public Library, volunteer for Mary

Could it be the Vivi River, as found in the National Geographic Atlas
of the
World (which is actually called a stream in GEONet)? According to the
atlas
it's in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia? Here are its coordinates: 63°
52'
15" N 097° 49' 38" E.  There is also a Lake Vivi in close proximity
with
coordinates: 66° 48' 00" N 093° 48' 00" E (which is designated by a
tourism
Web site of the region as the geographical center of Russia).

Just a thought...

Subject: River in Russia?

This is a shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me
help
a patron.

Our patron is looking for a river in Russia (North Russia, he thinks)
called VIVEDA or BIVEDA. He's not sure of the spelling b/c it was
taken
from an audio tape heard by a professor here. Of course both spellings
yield no results in GEONet and he's not having luck looking thru our
maps of Russia. I even checked a gazetteer that we have here,
"U.S.S.R.
and certain neighboring areas," to no avail. If there's anyone out
there
w/a specialty in this area of the world or if you have a gazetteer
that
might be helpful, we'd appreciate any leads.


Thanks-
