Chernozemye

Chernozem is the exceptionally fertile "Black Earth" belt in Russia|European Russia along the border with Ukraine, famous for its rich, deep, black soil. Its city's are best known to the English-speaking world for the vital importance they played as the principal battleground around the turning point of WW 2, home to the massive tank battle of Kursk. Despite its enormous importance throughout Russian history, and its central location in the heart of European Russia and there is relatively little to sightsee, as most of the region's architectural legacy was destroyed during the war.
