Kursk, Regional capital in western Russia.
Located at the meeting point of the Kur, Tuskar, and Seym rivers, Kursk extends across elevated terrain at 250 meters above sea level.
The Battle of Kursk in 1943 became the largest tank confrontation in military records, resulting in a decisive victory for Soviet forces against German troops.
The city maintains several educational institutions, including the Kursk State Medical University, which prepares medical professionals for the entire western region of Russia.
Public transportation networks include buses, trolleybuses, and trams, while the railway station connects the city with Moscow through a line established in 1868.
The region contains the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, representing the largest concentration of iron ore deposits on Earth, which influences local magnetic field measurements.
