A country town sidewalks

Cities and towns of Ukraine have a rather wide sidewalks. It clearly seen in these photographs. Usually there is also a strip of lawn between the sidewalk and the roadway. So that people walking down the sidewalk feel quite comfortable and safe. Basically Ukrainians like to walk.

Lenin kaput in Ukraine town

Ukrainian people's revolution has reached the our town. The bronze Lenin, who led the terror in the Ukrainian lands in the beginning of the last century, has finally fell from the pedestal. As you can see, the kids are only too happy to this event.

Olexandriya train station

Today is a sunny day and I visited the train station to get a few shots there. Station was rebuilt about fifteen years ago and we have a modern and bright building now. Train passes is not often at this time of the day therefore do not be surprised that there are almost no people at the station. Historical monument stands in front of the station which is called "Vladimir Lenin talks to a soldier of the Red Army". Because the railway was built here during the first years of Soviet rule in the country.

Photos of some of schools

Olexandria schools and other education institutions have large buildings. Virtually all schools are state-owned in our country. Therefore the program of education is the same everywhere. Children study in classrooms of 20-30 students. I also studied at one of these schools. It was a fun time!

Pioneer Park in Olexandria

This park that you see in the pictures was built in the 70's of last century. It was named in honor of the kids who died heroically in World War II. Children aged 9-16 of the Soviet Union joined the Pioneer organization and were called pioneers. They fought against Nazi invaders as adults.

This is a small park. There are just a few benches and several monuments. Beside a park there are the Palace of Children's Creativity and Palace of Culture.

Pictures of my town

I live in the town called Alexandria. Here also live about 70 thousand residents. These photos were taken in different places of our town. There are apartment buildings in downtown. And on outskirts right on the streets you can see grazing cows. Here are beautiful nature and mild climate.
