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 ) and Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace ). Yauza was mentioned in works by Voltaire (History of Peter the Great ), Alexander Ostrovsky and Anton Chekhov (Three Sisters ).

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. By the end of 1970s, YAUZA-6 systems based on BESM-6 mainframe were adapted for testing applications for 25 different computer architectures.
 * 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.

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)
