⭐️ Bryansk is an amazing city that is a whole year older than Moscow, founded in 1146. It has two founding dates: 985 and 1146. This interesting fact was made possible by archaeological excavations that confirmed the existence of a settlement long before written sources. Only a year passed between the city's 838th anniversary and its millennium, highlighting its rich history.

✈️ One of the famous landmarks of Bryansk is the "Monument to Pilots" — a real MiG-15 fighter jet symbolizing the courage of the defenders of the Motherland.

💧 Interestingly, the water that the city's residents drank in the 20th century came from the Devon Sea, which millions of years ago stretched from the Urals to Bryansk. The underground reserves of this water became a source of drinking water for the people of Bryansk. In the late 19th century, due to mistakes during the repair of an artesian well at the "Arsenal" factory, a 30-meter pit formed, from which a stream of water gushed.

🌳 Bryansk is also famous for the A. K. Tolstoy Park Museum, known for its unique wooden sculptures. In 1982, the park was included in the monograph "Parks of the World," which describes about 400 of the most unusual parks on the planet.

🏠✨ The Dvorovoy — a household spirit, the mythological master of the yard, who lived in the barn alongside the livestock and took the form of a little man.

He is considered the younger brother of the Domovoy. The name of the Dvorovoy is associated with the same complex of beliefs and rituals related to livestock as with the Domovoy, and often these characters are not distinguished at all.

👀 How sternly the shoebill stares at us from the Moscow Zoo!

By the way, its huge beak (about 23 cm long and 10 cm wide) allows it to hunt fish very skillfully.

Shoebills mainly feed on frogs, fish, and small reptiles.

✨🏰 Great Ustyug is a mysterious city that seems to come alive in legends and traditions. Its name comes from the river Yug, and the prefix "Great" appeared during the times of Ivan the Terrible, when the city became an important contributor to the treasury. Although the official history begins in 1212, locals take pride in claiming that their city was founded in 1147.

🏛 Here, you can find unique museums, such as the Museum of Glass Bottles and the Museum of Christmas Ornaments, as well as experience Russian culture at the Museum of the Izba (traditional wooden house). And, of course, we can't forget to mention shanezhki – open pies with filling that are rumored to have been invented right here.

🌊 According to legend, to connect the rivers Sukhona and Yug, a warrior Aquarius descended from the heavens, depicted on the city’s coat of arms. Great Ustyug is not just a place on the map but a true treasure trove of Russian history and culture, where every corner breathes magic.

📜 On ne sait pas grand-chose sur le lointain ancêtre de la lignée royale, Rurik, car de nombreux siècles se sont écoulés depuis son accession au trône. On peut affirmer avec certitude qu'il était une figure historique, et non une image composite de différents souverains. Cependant, certains faits concernant sa vie et son règne ont été établis avec une assez grande précision grâce aux archéologues et aux historiens qui ont fouillé dans les manuscrits poussiéreux des temps anciens.

👑 Par exemple, Otto von Bismarck, le célèbre "chancelier de fer", était un descendant de Rurik. Il en va de même pour le président américain George Washington. De plus, à travers la lignée généalogique de l'une de ses arrière-grand-mères, Alexandre Pouchkine est également lié à la dynastie des Rurik.
