The results of horizontal deformations study of the Volga river bed near the Sarpinsky Island (the largest river and island system in the European part of Russia) are discussed. The analysis of Landsat multi-time spectrozonal space images made it possible to estimate the changes in the Sarpinsky Island coastline from 1975 to 2016. It was established that the greatest coastline erosion process occurred from 1984 to 1995, as the maximum values of river discharge were observed after the construction of the hydroelectric power plant. It was found that the erosion processes are more strongly associated with the indicators of river discharge than the alluviation. During the studied period, the area of Sarpinsky Island reduced by an average of 0.09 km2/year. The processes of coastal sediment accumulation and their separation or drifting downstream are common for the western and southern parts of the island. The satellite images revealed the linear nature of the rate of 12.5 m/year of coastal destruction near the eastern part of the island, in a bend where settlements, dachas and recreation zones are located.
