Rostov‐na‐Donu (English spelling)
The capital of the eponymous region in southwestern Russia. It is often called Rostov, but its full name is used to avoid confusion with the ancient city of the same name northeast of Moscow. Population: 1,025,000 (1993). It is located on the lower reaches of the Don River, about 50 km northeast of the Sea of ​​Azov. It was originally built as a port in 1749 when the mouth of the river was under Turkish control, and a fortress was built in 1761, and the area around it developed. It was an important shipping point, and grew along with the progress of Russian colonization of the Caucasus region in the 19th century.

Japanese:
ロシア連邦南西部の同名州の州都。略称はロストフであるが,モスクワ北東の同名の古都との混同を避けるため,正称を用いることが多い。人口102万5000(1993)。ドン川下流,アゾフ海から北東約50kmに位置する。1749年,河口がトルコの支配下にあったときに港として建設されたのが起源で,61年に要塞が築かれ,その周辺に発展した。輸送地として重要地点を占め,19世紀ロシアのカフカス地方植民化の進展とともに成長。
