Kursk

Kursk lies 315 miles south of Moscow and straddles the main Moscow-Rostov railway line.

A layer of fertile loess covers the whole surface, and Kursk belongs almost entirely to the black-earth region.

The Kursk district contains more than sixty old town sites; and barrows or burial mounds (kurgans) are extremely abundant.

Fortunately, on the seventh day, when they reached Kursk, the sky suddenly clouded over and stormy weather set in.

I have also read a fine description of a ball given by a landowner of Kursk.

One of the intimates had informed the press that on such and such a day at a certain hour Tolstoy would be at the Kursk Station.
