In 1918, multiple Communists attempted to destroy the bridge over the Borzya, however, the plan failed due to weather conditions.[2]
The Borzya has its sources in the Kukulbey Mountains. It flows through a wide, swampy valley in a steppe landscape. The river's waters comes mainly from rain, and there are periodic flooding in the summer. The river sometimes dries up completely. The average discharge is 2.8 cubic metres per second (99 cu ft/s).
