An excerpt characterizing the Cities of the Kursk Region

“I don’t need anyone, I don’t love anyone but him.” How dare you say that he is ignoble? Don't you know that I love him? – Natasha shouted. “Sonya, go away, I don’t want to quarrel with you, go away, for God’s sake go away: you see how I’m suffering,” Natasha shouted angrily in a restrained, irritated and desperate voice. Sonya burst into tears and ran out of the room. Natasha went to the table and, without thinking for a minute, wrote that answer to Princess Marya, which she could not write the whole morning. In this letter, she briefly wrote to Princess Marya that all their misunderstandings were over, that, taking advantage of the generosity of Prince Andrei, who, when leaving, gave her freedom, she asks her to forget everything and forgive her if she is guilty before her, but that she cannot be his wife . It all seemed so easy, simple and clear to her at that moment. On Friday the Rostovs were supposed to go to the village, and on Wednesday the count went with the buyer to his village near Moscow. On the day of the count's departure, Sonya and Natasha were invited to a big dinner with the Karagins, and Marya Dmitrievna took them. At this dinner, Natasha again met with Anatole, and Sonya noticed that Natasha was saying something to him, wanting not to be heard, and throughout the dinner she was even more excited than before. When they returned home, Natasha was the first to begin with Sonya the explanation that her friend was waiting for. “You, Sonya, said all sorts of stupid things about him,” Natasha began in a meek voice, the voice that children use when they want to be praised. - We explained it to him today. - Well, what, what? Well, what did he say? Natasha, how glad I am that you are not angry with me. Tell me everything, the whole truth. What did he say? Natasha thought about it. - Oh Sonya, if only you knew him like I do! He said... He asked me about how I promised Bolkonsky. He was glad that it was up to me to refuse him. Sonya sighed sadly. “But you didn’t refuse Bolkonsky,” she said. - Or maybe I refused! Maybe it's all over with Bolkonsky. Why do you think so badly of me? - I don’t think anything, I just don’t understand it... - Wait, Sonya, you will understand everything. You will see what kind of person he is. Don't think bad things about me or him.

General information about the Kursk region

Distinctive features
. Since the first Slavs settled in the Kursk lands, this territory has become a bone of contention between stronger neighbors. First, the Pereyaslav princes fought for it with the Chernigov princes, then the Lithuanian principality with the Horde, until Moscow liberated these lands from the Catholic Lithuanians.

Now the Kursk region continues to occupy an important strategic position. Transport routes connecting Moscow with Crimea pass through Kursk. During the Great Patriotic War, the famous Battle of Kursk took place here - a battle after which the initiative in the war forever passed to the Soviet troops.

Economic activity in the region is active, trade, transport, and the service sector are developing. But they don’t forget about traditional areas - just like decades ago, they mine iron ore, grow grain, sugar beets, and vegetables. Fortunately, the local soils are rich in black soil. Also here is one of the largest nuclear power plants - the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.

The Kursk land has given birth to many talented and famous people. These are Saint Seraphim of Sarov, writer Arkady Gaidar, author of “Timur and His Team,” and artist Alexander Deineka, and famous humorist Vladimir Vinokur. The future General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, was born in the village of Kalinovka, Kursk region, and promised to show “Kuzka’s mother” to the capitalist world. Surprisingly, the parents of another famous secretary general, Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, also came from the Kursk lands.

Kursk is the heart of the Nightingale region. Not a city, but a song!

One of the symbols of the Kursk region is the Kursk nightingale - a unique species of songbird that can produce terli of particular beauty and complexity. Among the regional attractions, it is worth highlighting the Korennaya Hermitage Monastery, 30 km from Kursk, and noble estates, of which the most famous is the palace of the Baryatynsky princes in Maryino.

Monastery "Root Hermitage"

Geographical location

. The Kursk region is located in the west of the Russian Federation, in the central part of the East European Plain. In the north, the region borders with the Bryansk, Oryol and Lipetsk regions, in the south - with Belgorod and Voronezh, in the west - with Ukraine.

Located in the southwest of the Central Russian Upland, the Kursk region has a flat topography. The average height above sea level is 200 m. There are few reservoirs here, mostly artificial reservoirs. Of the more or less large rivers, five are worth noting: Seim, Psel, Svapa, Tuskar, Kshen.

Population.

Since the Kursk land had different masters in different historical eras, here we can find a mixture of very different dialects and even different groups of the peasant population: Sayans, Tsukans, Goryuns. The territory of the region was also actively populated by fugitive peasants, as well as migrants from the internal regions of the Russian kingdom, often sent to these lands on a voluntary-compulsory basis.

Now 96% of the region’s population are Russians, 1.3% are Ukrainians. In total, 1120 thousand people live in the Kursk region. The population is steadily declining every year: the mortality rate here is noticeably higher than the birth rate, and the flow of people wishing to move here from other regions is noticeably inferior to that of the neighboring Belgorod region. The male population is much smaller than the female population: 45.4% versus 54.6%. Population density is low: 37.3%.

Crime

. In the criminal ranking of regions, the Kursk region is in 48th place, and there is a trend towards a decrease in the number of crimes committed. There were no major or scandalous cases in this area. Mostly domestic crimes. Quite often, rape cases are featured in news reports, so parents of high school girls should teach their children to be careful. Corruption in government is also a common phenomenon.

Unemployment rate

in the Kursk region does not differ much from the national average. In 2012 it amounted to 5.11% (the Russian average is 5.45%). It must be said that there are not many large enterprises in the region, such as the Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant in Zheleznogorsk or the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, where new power units are now being built to replace the spent ones. But there are many medium-sized enterprises in the processing industry, primarily involved in food production. The average salary in the Kursk region is approximately 18,000 rubles, which is the average for the central regions, not counting the capital.

Kursk NPP in Kurchatov

Property value.

Housing prices in the Kursk region are pleasantly surprising. The average cost of one square meter in Kursk is one of the lowest in the Central Federal District - 38,353 rubles. This is explained by the low popularity of this region among migrants, the decline in population and the vacancy of housing stock. On the other hand, there are no such compelling reasons to neglect this city. Most likely, the reason is that the Kursk region is not yet a popular region, and its administration is not making enough efforts to create an attractive image of its fiefdom.

Climate

Kursk region - temperate continental. The average temperature here in July is +22°C, in January -7°C. The average annual precipitation is 550-600 mm per year. Peak precipitation occurs in the warm months, with more precipitation falling in the northwest of the region. There is quite a lot of snow, and it lies steadily from December to early March. The height of the snow cover reaches 20-40 cm.
