I would like to express my deep gratitude to the tour guide Valeria Vyacheslavovna for an amazing tour of the Brest Fortress Museum! She not only knows the material perfectly, but also knows how to captivate listeners with her stories. Valeria Vyacheslavovna shared interesting facts and stories that made our tour unforgettable. Her professionalism and love of history were evident in every word. We got a lot of emotions and new knowledge. We recommend that anyone who wants to better understand the history of the Brest Fortress contact Valeria Vyacheslavovna! Thank you very much!
The Brest fortress left an indelible impression. I've always wanted to visit there and get to know this legendary place better. The majestic monument to the defenders is stunning in its size. Schoolchildren keep a memory watch at the foot. Another monument embodies a soldier who, under bullets, draws water from a puddle with a helmet to bring it to his comrades. Museum staff constantly pour water into his helmet, and it serves as a kind of basin for flowers brought by people.
The guide will take you to different places of the fortress and tell you how selflessly the military unit that was here defended the fortress and about the heroes standing to the death in the face of the enemy horde.
There is an Orthodox church on the territory of the fortress, where you can go to pray and light a candle.
It took me two days to thoroughly inspect the fortress and fortified areas, where there is something to see.
Part of the story with its own atmosphere. From the very entrance, it sets you up for "immersion" in history and allows you to feel with your soul all the hardships that fell on the defenders of the fortress. Thanks to the wonderful guide Valeria Vyacheslavovna, it was possible to learn the main periods of the heroic defense of the Fortress in a short period of the tour. At the end of the tour, under the great impression of what we heard and saw, we walked around the fortress and its surroundings for almost 5 more hours. In my opinion, this is one of the places that everyone just NEEDS to visit.
