Proper noun

Amur

  1. The world's ninth-longest river, forming part of the border between the Far East of Russia and Northeastern China, emptying into the Pacific Ocean through the Strait of Tartary, where the mouth of the river faces the northern end of the island of Sakhalin.
    • 1830, Amelia Shipley Heber, editor, The Life of Reginald Heber, D.D.‎[1], volume 1, London: John Murray, →OCLC, →OL, page 568:
      If, then, the southern districts of European Russia be exposed to a winter more severe than those of France or Germany, they may boast in their turn a more genial climate than the banks of the Ural and the Amur; while all are subject to a dispensation of nature which extends too far, and acts too uniformly, to be ascribed to any local or temporary causes.
    • 1915 August 24, Charles K. Moser, “Harbin”, in Supplement to Commerce Reports‎[2], number 52h, →OCLC, page 1:
      Foreign trade goes not to Aigun, but to the Chinese town of Taheiho, which is situated about 30 miles distant from Aigun and is directly opposite the Siberian city of Blagovestchensk, on the other side of the Amur River.
    • 1975 June 22, L. Chen, “Defiant intellectual disobedience”, in Free China Weekly‎[3], volume XVI, number 24, Taipei, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 3:
      Just a few days before he was to be sent to the “Great Northern Wilderness” near the Amur, an 18-year-old middle school graduate named Liu Fu-yuan went up to the third floor of the “Hundred Goods Building” (department store) at Peiping’s Wanfunching and asked that a made-in-Red-China watch be brought out of the glass case.
    • 2020 August 15, Anton Troianovski, “'The Fish Rots From the Head': How a Salmon Crisis Stoked Russian Protests”, in The New York Times‎[4], →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2020-08-15‎[5]:
      Along the Amur, one of Asia’s great waterways, Russians feel cheated, lied to and ignored. The wild salmon fishery that they once took for granted is gone, they say, because Moscow granted large concessions to enterprises that strung enormous nets across the river’s mouth.
      People’s anger over their depleted fish stock is so widespread that it has been a driving force behind the anti-Kremlin protests that have been shaking the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk, on the Amur, since early July.
    • 2021 March, “Setting Rivers Free”, in National Geographic‎[6], pages 30–31:
      Bordered by small farming towns without large dams, the Amur—the least obstructed of these 10 rivers—is an example of the effects of minimal human influence.
