      city and administrative centre of Bryansk oblast (province), western Russia, on the Desna River just below its confluence with the Bolva. First mentioned in 1146, it stood in an important strategic and geographic position on the trade route between Moscow and Ukraine, and it was a stronghold on Russia's southern frontier in the 16th century. Bryansk is now a major industrial centre with large-scale and varied engineering, building-materials, cement, and consumer-goods industries. Six rail lines lead to Moscow, Vyazma, Smolensk, Gomel, Kiev, and Oryol, via small industrial towns. Pop. (2006 est.) 419,967.
