    Borya is a tiny crater on the Moon. It is near the site where Soviet lunar rover Lunokhod 1 landed in November 1970, in the Mare Imbrium region. Its diameter is 400 m (1,300 ft).[1] The name Borya does not refer to a specific person; it is a male name of Russian origin, the diminutive form of Boris.[1]
