Belgorod, Regional capital in southern Central Russia.
The city stands on the banks of the Seversky Donets River and Belgorod Reservoir, surrounded by chalk hills and fertile black soil lands.
In 1596, Tsar Feodor I ordered the construction of a fortress on the border with the Wild Fields to protect Russian territories from Crimean Tatar raids.
The population of Belgorod comprises primarily Russian and Ukrainian communities, with Orthodox Christianity serving as the predominant religious denomination in the region.
Belgorod operates an extensive public transportation system with buses and trolleybuses connecting all districts through a network of regular routes.
The city received the title 'City of First Salute' after Moscow celebrated its liberation from German forces with artillery fire in August 1943.
