Blinov (Russian: Блинов) is an island in the Caspian Sea on the Obzhorovsky site in the Astrakhan Nature Reserve.[1][2] It consists of reed and cattail supports in the water.

The island appeared in the 1930s. In 1977, the island's area increased significantly with a decrease in the level of the Caspian Sea. With an increase in the level of the lake, it is very common to be under water.[1] In March 2023, a fire broke out on the island, which was practically inaccessible for extinguishing.[3]
