| 1261 |  | This is near the former backyards of the Evbaz
(Jewish Market), between Ploschad Pobedy and Vozdokhoflotsky Most.
Track from Bulvar Shevchenko has just been moved here.
Nowadays, this is the beginning of the speed tram line
to Borschagovka. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 05.05.1959] |

| 1266 |  | Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, near Ulitsa Nevskaya
and a tram stop by the same name. The tram proceeds from Svyatoshin
towards the Zavod Bolshevik loop. [Anatoly Vilkovich, 1982] |
| 1268 |  | At the pits of the Lukyanovka Depot,
accompanied by three sister cars. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 1951] |
| 1270 |  | It is impossible nowadays to imagine a tram line diagonally crossing an expressway...
Nevertheless, that is how things were here (Brest-Litovsky Prospekt and Polevaya) up until 1978.
Such a configuration came into existence because a city tram line up to Polevaya ran on one side
of the prospect, the Svyatoshino tram taking the other side.
After they were united, the line got to cross the prospect. [Anatoly Vilkovich, 1978] |

| 1273 |  | A stretch of Ulitsa Frunze which we have already seen,
north of Kirillovsky viaduct. The train serves route 12
to Puscha-Voditsa. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 1960's] |

| 1274 |  | The background is the City Museum building
and the present Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
No electric mass transit is available here today:
trams were replaced with trolleybuses, which were then
"temporarily" removed, forty years later.
Hopefully not forever... [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 20.03.1954] |
| 1275 |  | The Zavod Bolshevik loop, during the last
year of the Brest-Litovsky Prospekt line. [Anatoly Vilkovich, 1982] |

| 1277 |  | Seemingly on the left bank, in Darnitsa.
Or perhaps near Most Patona? [Wolfgang Schreiner, 10.1959] |

| 1279 |  | Most probably this is the triangle
near the present-day Univermag Ukraina (we are looking west,
towards what is nowadays the speed tram line).
The construction in progress makes it plausible that
the picture should be dated 1959, which is when
a complete realignment of tram tracks in this area
was carried out. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1959] |
 | ||
| 1280 |  | The lower part of Ulitsa Kominterna,
short of the left turn onto Zhilyanskaya.
Route 2 has already been truncated to Lvovskaya Ploschad.
This time, the Soviet slogan at the front informs the
happy reader that the route is being served by
a Comsomol-Youth Brigade.
