Geography
changeBryansk Oblast is in western European Russia. It borders Smolensk Oblast in the north, Kaluga Oblast in the northeast, Oryol Oblast in the east, Kursk Oblast in the southeast, the Ukrainian oblasts of Chernihiv and Sumy in the south, and the Belarusian oblasts of Gomel and Mogilev in the west. Belgorod Oblast has a temperate continental climate.
Contamination
changeBecause of the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986, part of the area of Bryansk Oblast has been contaminated with radionuclides (mainly Gordeyevsky, Klimovsky, Klintsovsky, Krasnogorsky, Surazhsky, and Novozybkovsky Districts). In 1999, around 226,000 people lived in areas with the contamination level above 5 Curie/km2. This was about 16% of the oblast's population.
