The eternal flame at the monument "Courage" is the most piercing point of the entire memorial. The flame burning in memory of the fallen heroes and the memorial plaques with the names of the defenders (only 276 out of 1038 are known) create an incredibly solemn and mournful atmosphere. There are always fresh flowers here, a changing of the guard takes place, and everyone stops to silently honor the memory. A place where you truly feel the weight of a feat and feel the deepest respect. A must-visit. Eternal memory to the heroes!

It is interesting that for the first time the Eternal Flame was lit in the Brest fortress not at its current location, but at the powder magazine on the Kobrin fortification. It happened on September 19, 1965, during the rally of the winners of the All-Union youth march to the places of military glory of the Soviet people. In the same 1965, the bowl with the Eternal Flame was moved to the memorial stone on the site of the future monument to the defenders of the fortress, installed in 1961. In connection with the start of work on the construction of the memorial in 1968, the Eternal Flame was moved again - to the ruins of the building of the 9th frontier post and the 333rd Infantry Regiment.

If only out of respect for the memory of the soldiers buried in this place, not to mention the living people, would not use blowers and trimmers to ruthlessly fight the grass! They stink and roar so much, it's impossible to be here! Our ancestors did not lay down their lives for their descendants to destroy all living things, but they created such a sonic hell on their grave! This is disrespectful and even an insult to the memory of the winners!
