Yauza in culture

Historical role of Yauza settlements and bridges provided setting for the prominent scenes in fiction by A. K. Tolstoy (Yauza Bridge scene of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich^[1]) and Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace^[2]). Yauza was mentioned in works by Voltaire (History of Peter the Great^[3]), Alexander Ostrovsky and Anton Chekhov (Three Sisters^[4]).

Companies based in Moscow and Mytishchi used Yauza as a trade name for:

consumer reel-to-reel tape recorders assembled since 1956;
YAUZA, a cross-platform computer programming tool for military applications from mid-1970s.^[5] By the end of 1970s, YAUZA-6 systems based on BESM-6 mainframe were adapted for testing applications for 25 different computer architectures.^[6]
a type of Moscow Metro rolling stock, introduced into regular service in 1998 and remaining in limited use as of 2009.

Yauza was also a 15,100 ton military cargo ship with limited icebreaking capabilities built for operation in the Arctic in 1971.^[7]

^ "He soon put the boat in order, and worked her upon the river Yauza, which washes the suburbs of the town." - Voltaire, p. 75.

Too many geocoordinates?

It seems like all the geocoordinate data doesn't add much to the article, instead cluttering it up. A map would be much more helpful!--Miniapolis (talk) 02:16, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
