or WYSCHNEI-WOLOTCHOK, a town of European Russia, capital of a circle of the same name in the government of Tver, and 70 miles N.W. of the town of that name. It stands on the Zna, at the head of the canal uniting that river with the Tvertza, an affluent of the Volga, and thus connecting the navigation of the Baltic and Caspian seas. This place is consequently a great entrepot for trade, and three large annual fairs are held here. Pop. (1856) 8340.
