Today, Brest Fortress is situated at the territory of the sovereign Republic of Belarus, formerly the Soviet Republic of Byelorussia. Once upon a time the fortress was the westernmost outpost of the Soviet Empire.

On June 22, 1941 German fascist forces invaded the Soviet Union without a declaration of war and the bitter fighting first took place in Brest Fortress. Find out more about Brest on RT.
