The Kagul Obelisk(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Kagul, or Rumyantsev, Obelisk was erected according to plans by the architect A.
Rinaldi in 1771 - 1772 to commemorate the victory of Russian troops at the Kagul River.
The beauty of the silhouette, elegant proportions and exquisitely selected dark gray and red Russian marble impart to the obelisk an aura of expressive and stern grandeur.
The Kagul Obelisk or Rumyantsev Obelisk in Tsarskoe Selo is one of several such structures erected on behest of Catherine II of Russia in 1772 to commemorate Pyotr Rumyantsev's victory in the Battle of Kagul.
Designed by Antonio Rinaldi, the dark grey-and-red marble obelisk stands in the landscape park of the Catherine Palace.
The inscription on the pedestal reads: "In memory of the victory at the Kagul River in Moldavia, July 21, 1770, under the command of Count Peter Rumyantsev the Russian army of seventeen thousand caused the Turkish Vizier Galil-Bey and his army of one hundred thousand and a half to flee to the Danube".
All five lakes - Kagul, Kugurlui, Yalpug, Katlabugh and Kitai – are relatively shallow in relation to their area because they are actually limans (flooded river valleys) with one or more rivers flowing into them and comprising part of the natural Danube floodplain before it was embanked.
Lake Kagul is comma-shaped, with the tail end formed by the Kagul river valley.
Lake Kartal is located on the Danube floodplain between the southern ends of Lakes Kagul and the western ends of Kugurlui.
The kagul is a Maguindanao bamboo scraper gong/slit drum with a jagged edge on one side.
In the rice fields, the kagul serves a double purpose: to keep the farmer awake and active while at the same time using the sound of the kagul to scare away voracious birds such as the red maya from devouring the entire rice crop during daylight hours.

The Kagul was launched a few months before the Oleg, which has just set sail, and the Otchakof a few months before the Kagul.
Meanwhile, I hope that they are in a position to join the first division ; that is to say, to leave the Black Sea with the Kniaz-Potem-kin-Tavritchesky and the Tri-Sviatitdia; though it may well be for the reasons already given that the Rostislaw may be unable to sail with her sister battleships.
The Kagul and the Otchakof may be looked upon as being the best fighting ships, and better 14*
Nearly half of this area lies in Moldova, principally comprising the catchments of the Kagul and Yalpug rivers.
The highest concentration of Gagausians (17% of the population) is found in Bolgrad.
Reni is a small town of about 26,000 people situated between Lake Kagul and the Danube, close to the confluence with the River Prut and the border with Moldova.
Les Kagul sont ces écrevisses que l’on pêche surtout à l’époque de la mousson.
I just want to say that people might think that we are a tropical island and we don’t have swamps and all that, but we do have swamps and we have ducks and yabbies, which is called Kagul in my language.
Kagul are those yabbies – we have them – and we do hunt for them towards the monsoon season.

MEMBER for Tambul Nebilyer Mark Anis has allocated K200,000 for the upgrading of ring roads in the Lower and Upper Kagul areas of his electorate.
The funding is part of his K500,000 annual electoral development grants which, he said would be used under the DRIP (District Road Improvement Program).
Mr Anis said the K200,000 he put aside for the road program was not sufficient to cover all roads and called on the Western Highlands Provincial Government to help by providing gravel.

Mr Anis said the K200,000 he put aside for the DRIP program was not sufficient to cover all the roads and asked the Western Highlands Provincial Government to assist by providing gravel for the rest of the roads.
Recently, Mr Anis visited Middle Kagul and called on schools to allocate funds for maintenance work on the premises.
Similar allocations were made to schools in his Nebilyer area recently saying he would make a fair distribution to all the primary schools in the electorate and not concentrate in only one area.
