Peledui

The Peledui flows through the Lena plateau and joins the Lena from the west. Nearly 400 kilometres long, it drains a forested basin of more than fourteen thousand square kilometres. At its mouth, a Russian settlement known as Peleduiskaya sloboda was recorded in a geographical dictionary published in 1773. The Lena linked it with the neighbouring Vitim settlement, while the tributary led inland through the taiga.
