Severny (air base)

Severny is an air base in Russia located 200 km east of Orsk. It was a 1960s-era bomber base. The facility is mostly plowed under but 8 large pads are noted. It is located only 3 km from the Kazakhstan border to east.

Severny (grape)

Severny is the name of a Russian red-grape varietal. Severny results from the interspecific crossing between Seianetze Malengra and Vitis amurensis. The hybrid has been obtained in the Institute for wineyard researches in Rostov-on-Don in Russia. The varietal has been imported to Finger Lakes AVA, just south of Lake Ontario, in the United States.

Because of the genes present in Vitis amurensis, the varietal is very resistant to frost. Further hybridizations have involved the Severny varietal, as with the Saperavi Severnyi (with Georgian varietal Saperavi) or Cabernet Severny obtentions. It is an important component for the discovery of new varietals that can be grown under cold climates.
