Mogilev City (Belarus)

Mogilev is a city in eastern Belarus. It is located on the Dnieper River, about 76 km from the border with Russia's Smolensk Oblast and 105 km from Bryansk Oblast. As of 2011, its population was 360,918, up from an estimated 106,000 in 1956. It is the administrative center of the Mogilev Region and the third-largest city in Belarus.

By the 1950s, tanning was Mogilev's principal industry, and it was a major trading center for cereal, leather, salt, sugar, fish, timber and flint: the city has been home to a major inland port on the Dnieper River since and an airport since. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Belarus as an independent country, Mogilev has become one of that country's main economic and industrial centers.

Mogilev has a warm-summer humid continental climate with warm summers and cold winters.
