Brest, Regional administrative center in southwestern Belarus
The city lies at the intersection of the Bug and Mukhavets rivers, near the borders of Poland and Ukraine, hosting multiple educational institutions and government offices.
The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, signed in March 1918 at this location, marked the withdrawal of Russia from World War I and reshaped Eastern European borders.
The Brest Fortress Memorial Complex preserves the memory of the 1941 defense against German forces through exhibitions, monuments, and ceremonial events.
The Brest Central Railway Station functions as a major transportation hub between European and Asian rail networks, requiring gauge changes for international trains.
The city contains the National Park Belovezhskaya Pushcha, which protects the last fragments of the primeval forest that once spread across Eastern Europe.
