Kursky

Kursky can refer to several things, most notably a city and a district within Russia. Kursk, a major city in southwestern Russia, is the administrative center of the Kursk Oblast. The city is historically significant and played a crucial role during World War II, particularly in the Battle of Kursk, a pivotal tank battle. Kursk is also known for its Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, one of the largest magnetic anomalies in the world, which has significant iron ore deposits.

The Kursk Oblast is a federal subject of Russia, located in the Central Federal District.

The city of Kursk itself is an important industrial and cultural center, with numerous educational institutions and historical sites. Other settlements within the Kursk Oblast also bear the name Kursky or are closely associated with the region. For instance, there may be smaller villages or rural districts named Kursky within the larger administrative structure of the oblast or other Russian regions.
