City of Military Glory In 2010 Bryansk was awarded the title of a City of Military Glory for the heroism of its citizens and partisans during the Second World War and this monument was unveiled in the same year. The monument is the standard City of Military Glory Monument with a granite obelisk with the Russian double-headed eagle on the top. The obelisk is surrounded by four plinths with engravings of scenes from the Battle of Kulikovo Field, the Northern War, the Napoleonic War and finally the Second World War.
Intercession Cathedral(Покровский Собор)
Intercession Cathedral The Intercession Cathedral is the oldest surviving religious building in Bryansk having been completed in 1698. The cathedral takes the form of a standard five-domed building but with an additional two storey building attached to the side. In 1918 the cathedral was closed and subsequently used as an archive. It was only returned to the Orthodox Church in 1993.
Bryansk State Regional Museum
Bryansk State Regional Museum Bryansk has had a regional museum since 1921 but it only moved to the massive monumental building on Ploschad Partizan (Partisan Square) in 1984. Its exhibits on the natural world include the skeleton of a mammoth, geological displays and stuffed animals in dioramas of their national habitats. The history section covers ancient weapons, the role of Bryansk’s citizens in the Battle of Kulikovo Field, the Northern Wars, the Napoleonic War and the Second World War as well as the belongings of Fyodor Tyutchev and Aleksey Tolstoy.
Bryansk Museum of Art and Exhibition Centre
Bryansk Museum of Art and Exhibition Centre The Bryansk Museum of Art was established in 1968 when it was decided to separate the regional museum’s art collection so that it could be put on display in a museum devoted solely to art. As well as functioning as an exhibition centre, the museum’s permanent displays contain over 9,000 items. Its exhibitions are dedicated to folk art, Russian paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries, sculptures, icons and glass and ceramic wares.
Kurgan of Immortality
Kurgan of Immortality One of the symbols of Bryansk is the Kurgan of Immortality which is located in the Solovi Park. The 12 metre high kurgan (a Russian burial mound) was created in 1968 to commemorate the citizens of Bryansk who died protecting the freedom and independence of the Motherland during the Second World War. On top of the mound is a giant star decorated with a brightly coloured mosaic.
Svensky Uspensky Monastery
Svensky Uspensky Monastery The Svensky Monastery was founded in 1288 by Prince Roman Mikhailovich of Bryansk who dedicated it to the Dormition (‘Uspenie’ in Russian) of the Virgin Mary. According to the legend surrounding the establishment of the monastery, Prince Roman was losing his sight and so sent for a copy of the wonderworking Our Lady of Pechersk Icon from the Kievo-Percherskaya Lavra in Kiev so that he could pray to it. As the party was returning with the icon to Bryansk along the River Desna, the icon disappeared and later miraculously appeared in a tree on the bank of the River Sven. Prince Roman prayed to the icon and his sight was returned and so in gratitude he founded a monastery on the site where the icon appeared. Today the icon is also housed in Moscow’s Tretyakov Gallery.
Fyodor Tyutchev Monument
Fyodor Tyutchev Monument The renowned poet and diplomat Fyodor Tyutchev was born in 1803 in the village of Ovstug which is located in what is now the Bryansk Region. This monument to him was erected in 2003 to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the death of the great poet. The statue stands opposite to the grand building of the Aleksey Tolstoy Bryansk Regional Theatre.

The building behind Lenin is the City Administration and to the left of him is the Administration of the Bryansk Region.
Chernobyl Memorial As a result of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster of 1986, the Belgorod Region was mildly contaminated and many people who now live in the region were sent in to liquate the catastrophe and are now suffering from the effects of radiation poisoning. This poignant memorial was unveiled in 2006 on the 20th anniversary of the tragedy and consists of a giant globe with a huge crack running down the centre.

History of Bryansk
Foundation of Bryansk
Bryansk is one of the oldest Russian cities. The exact date of its foundation is unknown. Archaeological finds indicate that the Slavic fortified settlement on the right bank of the Desna River, in the territory of present Bryansk, arose in the last quarter of the 10th century.
On this basis, 985 was chosen as an arbitrary year of foundation of the settlement. For the first time it was mentioned in the Hypatian Codex as “Debryansk” in 1146. The initial name of the town is associated with “debri” (“wilds”) surrounding the town — dense and impenetrable forests. Over time, the name was reduced to Dbryansk and then simplified to just Bryansk.
At that time, it was part of the Chernigov Principality. In 1239, the Mongols destroyed Chernihiv, Novgorod-Seversky and other towns of the Chernigov Principality. In 1246, the center of the diocese and the capital of the principality moved to Bryansk, which survived the invasion. In 1356, the Lithuanian prince Algirdas annexed Bryansk to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
In 1500, the town was taken by the troops of Ivan III, a Grand Prince of Moscow, and annexed to the Grand Principality of Moscow. Bryansk became an important fortified town on the southwestern borders of the Moscow state.
More historical facts…
Bryansk in the 16th-19th centuries
During the Russian-Lithuanian War of 1507-1508, Bryansk was as a stronghold of the Russian forces. For many years, Bryansk was an apple of discord between the Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia. The name of the town was present in almost every peace treaty. Despite the constant military threat, its population was growing rapidly. In 1616, the population of the town was only about 1,000 people. In 1622, there were already about 2,500 inhabitants here.
Since the 17th century, Bryansk was at the crossroads of the most important trade routes that connected Little Russia (the modern day territories of Belarus and Ukraine) with Moscow. Since that time, the rapid development of trade began in the town. During the reign of Peter the Great, a number of decrees were issued to improve local industry and commerce. The annual fair held near the walls of the Svensky Monastery became one of the largest fairs in Russia.
In 1695, after the first unsuccessful Azov campaign, feeling the lack of warships, Peter the Great ordered the founding of a shipyard in Bryansk. In 1707, on his orders, workshops for the manufacture of steel arms and warehouses for storing weapons were set up in Bryansk. In 1722, the Bryansk Siege Yard was established, where all Russian artillery pieces intended for the destruction of fortresses were stored.
In 1730, by decree of Empress Anna Ioannovna, the Bryansk coat of arms was approved, which depicted a golden mortar with two pyramids of bombs — in memory of the Bryansk Siege Yard. Bryansk has the same coat of arms today.
By 1737, the Bryansk (Dnieper) flotilla was built consisting of more than 300 ships. The flotilla was intended to assist the Russian army against the Ottoman Empire in the campaign of 1737-1739. The Bryansk flotilla was the forerunner of the Russian military Black Sea fleet.
In 1783, an arsenal was established in Bryansk for the manufacture of siege and field artillery. By 1804, 450 workers, officers and technicians worked in the Bryansk Arsenal. By 1812, about 25% of all Russian guns and rifles were made in Bryansk. In 1840, the population of Bryansk was about 8,200 people.
In 1868, with the construction of the Oryol-Vitebsk railway, Bryansk was included in the railway network of the Russian Empire. In 1873, a rail rolling and iron-making mechanical plant was founded in the village of Bezhitsa, which soon became the largest enterprise for the production of steam locomotives and wagons in the country. In 1897, there were about 24,500 residents in Bryansk.
Bryansk in the 20th century and beyond
During the First World War, the city’s enterprises supplied the front with armaments, uniforms, and food. By 1917, the population of Bryansk was about 30 thousand people, there were 100 stone houses, 17 churches, more than 50 industrial enterprises.
In 1918, the Bryansk Engineering Plant began producing new and repairing old armored trains for the Red Army. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Bryansk Plant, renamed “Krasniy Profintern” (“Red International Trade Unions”), was the main base in the USSR for the production of armored trains, vehicles, and wagons. In the Soviet period, the city grew into a major industrial center. In 1931, the population of Bryansk was about 47,600 people.
On October 6, 1941, during the Second World War, Bryansk was occupied by German troops. During occupation, partisan units with a total number of up to 60 thousand people were operating in the Bryansk forests, mostly located in the territory of the present Bryansk region. On September 17, 1943, Bryansk was liberated by Soviet troops. Today, this date is celebrated as the City Day of Bryansk.
On July 5, 1944, a separate Bryansk Oblast was formed and the city of Bryansk became its administrative center. After the war, restoration began with the engineering (locomotive) plant, which produced its first steam locomotive already in 1946. In the 1950s, the population of Bryansk exceeded 100 thousand people.
On September 17, 1966, a monument to the soldiers and partisans-liberators of Bryansk was opened on Partizan Square, which became one of the symbols of the city. On May 7, 1967, the Mound of Immortality was laid with soil samples from the mass graves from cities and villages of the Bryansk region, the hero cities of the USSR, as well as the Bulgarian Shipka in its foundation. The population of Bryansk grew rapidly. By 1970, it was about 317 thousand people.
In 1984, the building of the regional museum of local lore was erected on Partizan Square. The laconic architecture of the building resembling the outlines of a partisan dugout plays the role of a screen (background) for the memorial complex. In 1985, Bryansk, a large city with a population of about 430 thousand people, celebrated its 1,000th anniversary.
In 2010, “for the courage, steadfastness and mass heroism shown by the city’s defenders in the struggle for freedom and independence of the Fatherland”, the city of Bryansk was awarded the honorary title of the Russian Federation “The City of Military Glory”.
On September 17, 2017, in the year of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Mound of Immortality, thousands of local residents took part in the event “Time Capsule. Message to the Descendants”. It should be opened in 50 years.
Since the beginning of the 1990s (the collapse of the USSR), the population of Bryansk began to decline. In 1991-2018, the number of residents decreased by 56 thousand people (about 12%).

Main Attractions of Bryansk
The Mound of Immortality — the main memorial to the fallen in the fight against Nazi Germany during the Second World War. At the top of the mound there is a huge five-pointed star. One of the symbols of Bryansk, it is located in the Park of Culture and Leisure “Solov’i” (“Nightingales”) opened in honor of the millennium of Bryansk. The height of the star made of concrete is 18 meters, the height of the artificial mound is 12 meters.
The mound consists of over 20 thousand tons of soil brought from mass graves from all over the Bryansk region, from other hero cities, as well as from the Bulgarian town of Shipka as a symbol of unity of the Slavic peoples, who suffered during the war. Two granite stairs lead to the top of the mound, where the observation deck is located. From here you can enjoy panoramic views of the Desna River.
Gagarin Boulevard — the only pedestrian street in Bryansk located in the historical center. The length of the street is about 1 km. Its southern part is a wide sloping stairs called “Potemkin Stairs” (by analogy with the famous Potemkin Stairs in Odessa, Ukraine) descending to Slavyanskaya Square on the bank of the Desna River. On the boulevard there is a monument to Yuri Gagarin — the first human in outer space. He visited Bryansk and walked along this street in 1966.
A number of houses on the boulevard were built in the 19th century: the House of Banks and Industry, the Wine Castle, the estate of Dr. Polyansky, and others. The clock installed on the boulevard shows time, the temperature regime, as well as the level of radiation background, since Bryansk Oblast is not so far from Chernobyl, Ukraine.
Alexey Tolstoy Park Museum. This park, founded in 1936, was named after the playwright Alexey Tolstoy, who was born in the Bryansk region. Due to its unique collection of wooden sculptures based on Russian fairy tales, this place is considered the favorite resting place for locals and visitors of the city.

Описание (английский)
Bryansk is a city and the administrative center of Bryansk Oblast, Russia, located 379 kilometers (235 mi) southwest of Moscow. The first written mention of Bryansk was in 1146, in the Hypatian Codex, as Debryansk (appears variously as Дъбряньск, Дьбряньск, and in other spellings).
Its name is derived from «дъбръ», a Slavic word for «ditch», «lowland», or «dense woodland»;
the area was known for its dense woods, of which very little remains
today. Local authorities and archaeologists, however, believe that the
town had existed as early as 985 as a fortified settlement on the right bank of the Desna River.
Bryansk remained poorly attested until the Mongol invasion of Rus’. It was the northernmost of the Severian cities in the possession of the Chernigov Rurikids. After Mikhail of Chernigov
was murdered by the Mongols and his capital was destroyed, his son
moved his seat to Bryansk.
In 1310, when the Mongols sacked the town
again, it belonged to the Principality of Smolensk.
Algirdas of Lithuania acquired Bryansk through inheritance in 1356 and gave it to his son, Dmitry the Elder. Until the end of the century, the town was contested between Jogaila, Vytautas, Švitrigaila, and Yury of Smolensk.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow conquered Bryansk following the Battle of Vedrosha in 1503. The town was turned into a fortress which played a major role during the Time of Troubles. During the Time of Troubles, it was occupied by Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1610 and remained at Polish hands as part of Smolensk Voivodeship until the Truce of Deulino in 1634.
Peter the Great incorporated Bryansk into Kiev Governorate, but Catherine the Great deemed it wise to transfer the town to Oryol Governorate in 1779. She also promulgated the town’s coat of arms.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the economy of Bryansk, which had
become a regional trading center, was based on the Svenskaya fair, the
largest in European Russia. The fair was held annually under the auspices of the Svensky Monastery. After cannon and ammunition started to be manufactured there for the Imperial Russian Navy in 1783, Bryansk evolved from a regional market town into an important industrial center for metallurgy and textiles. The city’s population exceeded 30,000 by 1917.
In 1812 The Grande Army fought the Russians in Bryansk and in Orel.
In 1918, the Belarusian People’s Republic claimed Bryansk, but the town was taken by Bolshevik forces in 1919. During World War II, Bryansk was captured by the Germans
and thereafter occupied (from October 6, 1941 to September 17, 1943),
with the city left heavily damaged by fighting. About 60,000 Soviet partisans were active in and around Bryansk, inflicting heavy losses on the German army.
In 1944, soon after its liberation, Bryansk became the administrative center of Bryansk Oblast.
