This card shows "Memorial Complex, Brest Fortress-Hero". 

布列斯特要塞

"A 19th century Russian fortress in Brest, Belarus. It is one of the most important Soviet World War II war monuments commemorating the Soviet resistance against the German invasion on June 22, 1941 (Operation Barbarossa). Following the war, in 1965 the title Hero-Fortress was given to the Fortress to commemorate the heroic defence of the frontier stronghold during the very first weeks of the German-Soviet War. It was then part of the Byelorussian SSR. The title Hero-Fortress corresponds to the title Hero City, that was awarded to an eventual total of twelve Soviet cities." - Wikipedia

簡言之，這座要塞在二戰中保護了蘇聯對抗日耳曼的入侵，日後的蘇德之戰也有很大的戰功。(詳細的內容請參見維基百科介紹)

The card I received

搜尋到這篇文章真的一解我對白俄羅斯的郵票之謎，總是不知道那些詭異的面額字母，原來跟重量及寄送的地點不同而各具價值。難怪我問白俄羅斯的朋友她也說不出個所以然來，要是台灣的郵票也這樣設計，恐怕我也會一頭霧水吧。=P
