The Borzya (Russian: Борзя from Mongolian "Боорж/Boorj") is a river in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia. The town of Borzya lies along the river. It is a right tributary of the Onon (in Amur's basin). It is 304 kilometres (189 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 7,080 square kilometres (2,730 sq mi).[1]
In 1918, multiple Communists attempted to destroy the bridge over the Borzya, however, the plan failed due to weather conditions.[2]
