I bow low to the Belarusian people and, of course, to the staff of the museum complex! I consider it a must for all residents of the post-Soviet space to visit such a significant place! So that they would not only remember, but also learn how to honor the memory of the heroic feat of our peoples (as evidenced by the lists of the dead defenders of the fortress). Schoolchildren carry a guard of honor at the eternal flame, boys and girls stand daily, according to the guide, regardless of the weather.. The territory is open to the public for free, museum exhibitions and excursions are paid separately. The cost is symbolic (divided into a group). The entire territory is well maintained, some of the buildings have been reconstructed, those that were destroyed have been heavily preserved from further destruction.. Archaeological research is still underway, and the remains of defenders of our homeland are being found. It's hard to write a review about such a place..

I thought for a very long time about what to write, it turned out to be much more difficult than it seemed, it is not just a fortress, not just a monument that perpetuated the feat of people who fought for their land, for the whole country, for our future, sparing nothing. Like many of us, my grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought, surprisingly, but fortunately everyone returned alive. Unfortunately, they are no longer in this world, but the memory of them and their feat will always live in my heart! Sometimes they were reluctant to share their memories, and for me they were stories about something that I didn't fully understand. I understood that this was true, but I perceived them as something unreal, like listening to some kind of action movie or thriller on the radio. I didn't understand it until I visited the Brest fortress and saw the monument "Courage" live. In the view of the war, all the severity, the irreversibility of the outcome is conveyed, but at the same time correctness, maximum necessity and determination, determination, but not humility with the situation in which these soldiers found themselves. He also has a sense of duty and a lot of sadness about what else could have been. You can see anything in that look, but not fear. Now, when I'm scared, it doesn't happen so often, but nevertheless, I remember the feat of my great-grandfathers and millions of warriors, and this helps me overcome myself and any situation in which I feel insecure. I consider this place necessary to visit at a conscious age.

Brest Fortress is a place that everyone needs to visit. It is better to do this accompanied by a guide, so of course it will be more interesting. The fortress now resembles a large open park, which is just as interesting to walk around.
