The Bulun (Russian: Булун), also known as "Rassokha", is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russia. It has a length of 428 kilometres (266 mi) and a drainage basin of 17,000 square kilometres (6,600 sq mi).[2] The Bulun is the longest tributary of the Korkodon, of the Kolyma basin. Its river basin is located in a discontinuous permafrost zone.[3]
The river flows across an uninhabited area of the Kolyma Mountains. Formerly there was a gold-mining settlement in its basin named Rassokha, but it was abandoned in the 1970s.[4]
