Bryansk ? the more-than-1,000-year-old capital of Bryansk Oblast was badly damaged during WWII, but retains many pretty churches; exceptional for a Russian city, it has leafy ravines cutting through its hilly center
Dyatkovo ? a town that became the center of regional partisan opposition to the Nazis and is also the national center for lead-crystal (glass) art
Klintsy ? a small city, but nonetheless the region's second largest, that has preserved in its center a notable collection of 19th century architecture, including some rather impressive merchants' and officials' houses
Mglin ? home to the massive early 19th century Uspensky Cathedral, which somehow avoided destruction throughout WWII and Soviet rule; it has recently been renovated and its coat of paint looks fresh enough to eat
Novozybkov ? this small city is a contemporary center of the Old Believer Sect of Russian Orthodoxy, having been founded by persecuted Old Believers, and contains several important Old Believer churches
