History
editBrestskiy Kurier dates back to 1906 when it was distributed under the name Brest-Litovskiy Kurier. In this form the paper had existed until 1915 when Brest-Litovsk was occupied by the German troops during the World War I. Brest-Litovskiy Kurier was being issued daily, twice: in the morning and in the evening. Notably, such high circulation was achieved in a city with the population of 50 thousand.
The first issue of the reestablished Brestskiy Kurier came out in June 1990 and was printed in Vilnius.[1] In 1999 the newspaper received an award in the category The Young Press of Eastern Europe by the ZEIT-Stiftung foundation.[2] In 2017, the weekly circulation was 2,500 copies.[3]
In 2018, the printed version of the publication ceased to exist.
In July 2023, the newspaper's website was added to the list of extremist materials.[4]
