Yundin

The steppe around Yundin stretches across the basin of the Sal, a tributary of the Don. Rivers such as the Bolshoy Gashun drain the dry country toward the Sal, their valleys cutting through the open grasslands. This was a region of pastoral movement on the southern steppe before small settlements appeared here under Russian rule. A place connected with the locality is recorded in 1812, a late chapter in the settlement of the Sal country.
