Molonga isn't a word but mologa is.
A monastery in Mologa in 1911. Photographed by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, using three black-and white images through coloured filters before the invention of colour photography.Mologa (Russian: Моло́га) was a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, situated at the confluence of Mologa and Volga Rivers, now submerged under the waters of the Rybinsk Reservoir.

Mologa existed at least since the 12th century. It was a part of the Principality of Rostov in the early 13th century. Later on, the town was annexed by the Principality of Yaroslavl. In 1321, it became the center of an independent principality. Soon after that, Ivan III annexed Mologa in favor of the Muscovy. Thereupon Mologa's rulers moved to Moscow, where they have been known as Princes Prozorovsky and Shakhovskoy.

In the late 15th century, they relocated a fair from Kholopiy Gorodok (a town 55 km north of Mologa) to Mologa. After that, Mologa turned into one of the most important Russian trade centers with the Asian countries. According to an account by Sigismund von Herberstein, there was a fortress in Mologa.

Following the Time of Troubles, Mologa thrived as a trade sloboda. In the 19th - early 20th centuries, it was a big staging post on the Volga due to the fact that the town had been located at the beginning of the Tikhvin waterway system, connecting the Volga with the Baltic Sea.


Flooding of a convent in MologaDuring the construction of the Rybinsk Reservoir and Rybinsk hydroelectric plant, the town of Mologa was evacuated and engulfed by water in 1940s. Around 130,000 people were forced to move from Mologa and the surrounding areas. 294 locals refused to leave their homes despite NKVD's insistence and eventually drowned.

April 14 is rememebered in Yaroslavl Oblast as the Day of Mologa. On this day, the boats with monks and priests sail to the spot where Mologa used to stand, and hold divine service in front of the upper parts of cross-crowned belfries which are still visible above the water of the artificial lake.

A malanga is a tuber vegetable, similar to a taro root, that has a white crispy texture. Used much in the same manner as a potato, this vegetable is not eaten raw but instead is fried, boiled and cooked to a tender consistency for use in soups, stews, casseroles, and main dishes.
