Bryansk, one of the oldest Russian cities, is situated on both the banks of the Desna River, where the Bolva and Snezhet Rivers meet Desna. The rivers divide the city into four districts: Bezhitsky, Volodarsky (including Bolshoe Polpino), Sovetsky, and Fokinsky (including the urban settlement Belye Berega). The population of Bryansk is 460 thousand people. After the collapse of the USSR Bryansk turned into the centre of the Russia-Ukraine border area. Taking a favorable location on the railroad connecting the two capitals, Moscow and Kiev, the city very well fits into the system of economic relations of the two countries. The Bryansk Region has always been one of the bridges facilitating Russia’s cultural communication with Ukraine and Byelorussia. Cultural traditions of the three East Slavic countries have been blended in the architecture monuments, the language, and the folk traditions of this area.
What makes Bryansk so cozy and attractive is a number of ancient churches that dominate traditionally urban layout of the typically provincial Russian city. Bryansk churches are elegant, with almost weightless forms and light domes that give them a special charm.
