Azov ( Russian: Азов) is a mountain in Central Ural, Russia. It is located 8 km from Polevskoy meat Zyuzelsky village. It's one of the natural monuments of Russia. [1]
According to Aleksandr Matveyev, the configuration of the rocks gives a reason to believe that the name of the mountain derives from the Tatar word azaw teš (азау теш), meaning ' molar tooth'. In other Turkic languages the word means 'fang', 'edge', or 'sting'. [2] The archaeologist E. Bers believed that in the Iron Age it served as a sacrificial place.
According to popular beliefs, a creature from local folktales called Azovka (lit. 'the Azov girl') lives inside Mount Azov. [3]
