- baybal2 7y agoYes, it's literally "bones" from Russian. The area has been known for it
- baybal2 7y agoSome more background: Russian folklore attributes the name to the event when god Indra (Inder, Hindra in other spellings) was about to cross the Don river. Indra tried to drink all of Don's water, and exploded. The locality was then named for his scattered bones.
