Kursk

Kursk sits on the Tuskar River in Kursk Oblast, Russia, where the rolling Central Russian Upland meets the broad plains of western Russia. The smaller Kur River, from which the city takes its name, also runs through Kursk before joining the Tuskar in the Seim basin. Kursk has long served as a regional administrative and transport centre. Its Znamensky Cathedral, rebuilt in the early 19th century, is among the city’s principal Orthodox landmarks. Kursk is internationally associated with the Battle of Kursk, fought in the surrounding region in 1943 and considered a decisive campaign on the Eastern Front of the Second World War.
