Kursk Blomst Levering (Florist)

Kursk, the administrative center of the Kursk region, borders on Ukraine to the West. In fact, the region was populated by ethnic Ukrainians. There is still a lot of evidence of that even though this land belongs to Russia.
This millennium-old city is lovingly called the place where the best nightingales sing their song during amazing summer nights. However, don’t take it seriously as nowadays Kursk is a big city with the population of 417 000 people. You hardly find in here a creature living in the wild.
The biggest tank battle ever in History took place not far from Kursk in the hot summer of 1943. The numerous deadly attacks of the Soviet troops in that massacre turned out to be the beginning of Nazi’s undoing in the WWII. Since then, the Third Reich military forces had only retreated from the USSR.
Kursk offers beauty, authenticity, and magnificence. It has been recognized as the most comfortable, non-polluting and environmentally friendly town in the Russian Federation.
There is one monument that is second to none in the whole of Russia. Undoubtedly, it is worth enjoying and helps to bring any visitor to the traditions of the city. You are not going to believe it! The singular monument is dedicated to the Antonovka variety of local apples which is also well-known in Ukraine and Belarus. It consists of a 2-meter apple weighing 330 pounds. The diameter of the metal fruit is approximately 5 feet. The author of the monument is the famous Russian sculptor Viacheslav Mykhailovysh Klykov who unveiled it in 2004.
The popularity of the Antonovka variety is explained by the quality of a harvest and the fact that only the Antonovka’s tree sustains harsh winters in Eastern Europe remaining unharmed in early spring.
Make it your next destination to Kursk for exploring the magic world of one of the oldest cities of the country! At least, you will not be disappointed.
