The number of residents has decreased in recent years, although a positive trend is still observed periodically: in 2010 and 2017. there was an increase.
Bryansk attracts specialists in the field of industry, primarily in the field of metal processing. It is a large industrial city, thanks to which the economic situation here is favorable. This settlement is the most important railway junction in the economic direction. It is connected by routes to Moscow, Orel, Gomel, Vyazma, as well as other major locations. This is attractive to potential migrants, as it greatly facilitates the eventual relocation.
Transport node
Located at the intersection of strategic routes from east to west and 350 kilometers from Moscow, Bryansk, where a large railway interchange is located, plays a vital role in the life of the western regions. It is through it that the roads to Moscow and Smolensk, Orel and Vyazma, Ukraine and Belarus go.

The largest factory in Russia for the production of truck cranes is located here. Other industrial areas are also well developed, so Klintsy shows a steady trend of development. Thanks to this, the population has also been constantly growing in recent years. By nationality, the majority of people here are Russians.
Industrial centre
Post-war Bryansk had to be rebuilt. Housing, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, palaces of culture, libraries, and cinemas were built. The city became the largest industrial center of the USSR. Metalworking, mechanical engineering, electrical, electronic, chemical, woodworking and food enterprises were mainly concentrated here.
Today, Bryansk, where more than 1,200 industrial enterprises are located and operate, is the industrial center of the country, producing diesel locomotives, cars, road equipment, including asphalt pavers, graders, agricultural machines, construction materials, textiles and food products.
Novozybkov is large by local standards
Novozybkov ranks third in terms of population in the region. As of 2022, about 40 thousand people live here. This settlement is attractive for its unusual history. It was founded in 1701, mainly Old Believers were located here.
Gradually the city grew and acquired the status of a district town. The cultural context as a place of peculiar exiles and dissidents remained. In modern history, this is emphasized by the fact that the surrounding areas were exposed to radioactive contamination as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The exclusion zone begins 1 km west of the city.
Where is Bryansk?
The Central Russian Upland, in the west of which the city of Bryansk is located, has a length of about 1000 kilometers, a width of 500 kilometers and is the watershed of three seas: the Black, Caspian and Azov. The altitude ranges from 200 to 250 meters. The highest point is 305 meters.
The city of Bryansk lies on the banks of the Desna River, where the Snezhet and Bolva rivers flow into it. The flat and low-lying left bank and the ravine and hilly right bank determine the structure of the city.
In these places there are the famous dense Bryansk forests, which mostly consist of broad-leaved trees. On the slopes of ravines and ravines grow forests consisting mainly of oak, linden and ash trees. The forest is the pride and calling card of Bryansk.
Dyatkovo is a village with city status
This village has been known since 1626. City status was received already in 1924. At the moment, the total number of residents is about 26.7 thousand. At the same time, the trend is negative, which is primarily due to the lack of places for employment and weak prospects. The majority of the population (98%) are Russians.
The main city-forming enterprise is the Dyatkovo Crystal Factory. Its products are widely known not only in Russia, but also abroad. Thanks to this plant, it was possible to erect a unique temple, the Burning Bush, where the only crystal iconostasis in the world was installed. The point is also widely known for its sources. In recent years, natural and architectural attractions have begun to be revived, and interest in the original crystal museum has increased. All this creates good potential for the development of the tourism industry.
Brief history
Bryansk city has its historical beginnings with 10
century, when a military fortress was built, which turned into one of the most important spiritual and cultural centers in the Southwestern part of Rus'. The ruins of the structure have not survived to this day. During the reign of Peter the Great, the city served as a transshipment base where the Azov campaigns were organized.
Centuries later, when the difficult period of the Second World War began, partisan detachments made plans against the German occupiers in the forests of the Bryansk region.
Starodub - ancient and small in number
Today the number of people living in Starodub (as of 2018) is 18 thousand people. This is an ancient city, the exact date of its foundation is unknown. It has been established that in 1080 we were already talking about a fairly powerful settlement. In the past it was the center of the Seversk land. The property of this place is the layout that has been preserved since ancient times, which makes it easy to reconstruct ancient settlements.
The city-forming enterprises belong to the food industry. Starodubsky cheese and canned food are produced here. Previously, bread and local sausages were produced here. At the moment, both companies have gone bankrupt. The city's greatest potential is related to tourism, but for this it needs to be developed.
Formation of the Bryansk Principality
The Principality of Chernigov included the lands where the city of Bryansk was located. As a result of the Tatar-Mongol invasion, the cities of Chernigov and Novgorod Siversky were plundered and destroyed. In 1246, the center of the Chernigov principality moved to Bryansk. The first Bryansk prince Roman Mikhailovich ruled here.
But the existence of the principality was short-lived, since the son of Prince Roman, Oleg, abdicated the throne and took monastic vows. In the absence of other contenders, the Chernigov and Bryansk principalities passed into the power of Smolensk.
Karachev is an ancient city with a small population
Karachev is a point in the Bryansk region, in which, according to last year, 17.7 thousand people lived. It is one of the oldest in Russia. Surprisingly, in 1146 it already existed. At that time it was the center of the Karachev principality. Now Karachev is in outright decline. There are several factories operating in the village, including those producing electrical parts, but most are in a state of outright decline. Nothing concrete is known about the possibility of restoring the city through tourism.
