Brasnya is an Eastern European[1] Russian state. Its capital is Zyargy. It is somewhere in the process of breaking away from Russia. The winters look harsh there.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Thousands of years ago, the Eukarian ship Axalon crashed in the region that would one day become Brasnya.
Near the end of World War II, Sgt. Savage and Garrison Kreiger allied with the last surviving Eukarian, Centurion. Together, they travelled to Brasnya, where they encountered the frozen wreckage of the Axalon. The abandoned glacier quickly became a battleground between Centurion, a horde of IRON Troopers, and the reanimated body of Domitius Major. The residual Talisman energy within the craft activated and teleported the Axalon and Savage away, leaving a large crater.

In the early 2000s, Brasnya had maintained a standing army with its own tanks for at least sixteen years. While separatist militants under Georgi Koska fought with Russian troops before, the Brasnyan army had never fired a shot in anger. Russian and Brasnyan politicians always worked out a mutual face-saving deal instead. The Decepticons placed facsimiles in both the militants and the Brasnyan government, including one that replaced Koska himself. Escalation #3 American intelligence agency Skywatch had a contact, Major Arkurin, in the Brasnyan capital. Escalation #6
Megatron aimed to use the conflict between Brasnya and Russia to initiate a new, global war that would leave humans in a weakened position when the Decepticons chose to take action. To accomplish this, he turned himself into a gun, had Koska "fire" him at a Russian oil pipeline, then used a cloaked Blitzwing to take potshots at Russian and Brasnyan forces (who each thought the other side was firing) to instigate a conflict. This worked until the Autobots intervened; the sight of giant transforming robots stunned both sides into standing down, and the Russians pulled out after being faced down by Prowl and Hot Rod. The situation cooled down. Escalation #5
Later on, Skywatch arrived in the area to examine it with intention of tracking down the Transformers. Devastation #1
After hacking I.R.O.N.'s systems, Garrison Blackrock discovered the location of Ice Man facility in Brasnya. Strange Visitors After calling upon M.A.S.K. as extra muscle, the group travelled to Brasnya. Action Man managed to convince Atomic Man to stand down, allowing the team to capture Kreiger. The final release of Talisman energy from the cyborg's body however had the unexpected side-effect of causing the time lost Sgt. Savage to emerge. Power and Glory
Notes
- The name is probably a takeoff on "Grozny", the capital of Chechnya, a federal subject of Russia which has a violent history of separatism.
- Escalation #3 refers to Brasnya as a "breakaway Soviet state", which is corroborated by #4. While on first sight this may seem to imply that the Soviet Union still exists in the present-day setting of Escalation, #5 and #6 replace "Soviet" with "Russian" and "breakaway" with "former", thereby apparently fixing a major world politics flub. Simon Furman later stated at the German C.O.N.S. convention in July 2012 that any references to "Soviet" are to be considered an error and should read "Russian" instead.
