Trip to Brest - the regional center of Belarus, located in the south-west of the country.  This town became famous for the feat of the defenders of the Brest fortress, who fought for more than a month against the German army in the summer of 1941.

For the first time the city of Brest is mentioned as the city of Bereste in the Tale of Temporary Years in 1019, when Kievan Rus captured the fortress from the Poles. Brest is one of the oldest cities in Belarus.

In 1409, the city became a meeting place for King Władysław II Jagiellon, Duke of Vytautas and Tatar Khan, at the initiative of Archbishop Nicholas Tromba, to discuss preparations for war against the Teutonic Knights. In 1410, the city assembled a cavalry detachment that participated in the Polish-Lithuanian victory at the Battle of Grunwald. In 1566, by order of King Sigismund II of Augusta, a new Berestee Voivodeship was created, which became part of the Commonwealth in 1569. It was later renamed Brest-Litovsk.

In 1657 and 1706. the city and fortress were captured by the Swedes during the invasion of Poland.

On 19 September 1794, the territory between Brest and Terespol became the site of the victorious battle of the Russian Imperial Army under the command of General Suvorov against the armed forces of the Kościuszko Army under the command of General Karol Serakowski (known in Russia as the Battle of Brest). In 1795, the third partition of the Commonwealth took place, and Brest became part of the Russian Empire

In 1915, the city was captured by the German army during the First World War. In March 1918, the Brest-Litovsk Fortress on the western outskirts of Brest signed the Treaty of Brest, which ended the war between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers and transferred the city and the surrounding region to the German Empire. This treaty was subsequently annulled by other treaties that ended the war, as well as by events that occurred in Germany and Eastern Europe. In 1918, the city was first proclaimed part of the Belarusian People’s Republic, and later part of the Podolsk province of the Ukrainian People’s Republic.

During the Polish-Soviet War, the city of Brest became part of the newly formed Poland within the borders recognized by the Treaty of Riga of 1921. On 20 March 1923, the city was renamed Brest nad Bug in the Second Polish Republic, becoming the capital of the Polesian Voivodeship in accordance with the tradition of 1795.

During the German invasion of Poland in 1939, the city was defended by a small garrison of four infantry battalions under the command of General Konstantin Plisovsky against the 19th Tank Corps of General Heinz Guderian. After four days of heavy fighting, the Polish troops withdrew south on 17 September. The Soviet invasion of Poland began on the same day, as a result of which the Red Army entered the city at the end of September 1939 in accordance with the Secret Protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and on 22 September 1939 a joint German-Soviet military parade.


On 22 June 1941, the fortress and the city were attacked by Nazi Germany on the first day of the operation «Barbarossa» directed against the Soviet Union. Thus, in the summer of 1941, the Germans were forced to take the city again, but now already from the USSR. Brest fortress lasted 6 days. Abandoned by the Soviet army, almost all of its defenders died. The city became under the control of the Reichskomcommissariat of Ukraine. The Jewish population of the city (about 20,000) was placed in a Brest ghetto founded by the German authorities in December 1941, but closed in October 1942.

The city was liberated by the Red Army on 28 July 1944. In accordance with the agreements of the 1945 Yalta Conference, the status of the city as a part of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic.
