| 1501 |  | A view towards Ulitsa Kominterna and the railway
station. It is because of the latter that the white-clad policeman,
visible in the left, is going to approach the photographer
and ask him to refrain from taking pictures of strategic objects...
What interests us here is the information on the old
tram traffic pattern: Vokzal (station) bound trams
went via Saksaganskogo (the red tram in the extreme right);
in the opposite direction, via Zhilyanskaya (the blue tram
turning left in the background). [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 12.07.1959] |
| 1505 |  | The Ploschad Pobedy triangle;
the right turn (as the tram goes) still exists.
Nowadays here is the newly-rebuilt branching of the speed tram
line and routes 15 and 18 (formerly 13). [Hans Oerlemans, 10.09.1978] |

| 1506 |  | Route 30, approaching the Arsenalnaya Metro station,
still under construction. In the second half of 1990's, this stretch
of the line was rebuilt to modern standards... and soon thereafter,
dismantled. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 08.1956] |
| 1508 |  | Ulitsa Saksaganskogo; the tram is at the Kominterna stop
before turning onto the street by the same name towards the railway
station. In the background is the intersection of Saksaganskogo and Tolstogo. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 10.1956] |
| 1511 |  | Ulitsa Mechnikova, formerly known as Sobachya Tropa;
the location is next to the present-day Metro Klovskaya.
Some kind of construction is in progress on the road,
next to the present-day Kiyanka store. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 1950's] |
| 1512 |  | Going up Saksaganskogo from Tolstogo to
Pankovskaya; the photographer is standing close to the Lesya Ukrainka
museum. Today this place features trolleybuses, one-way traffic...
and all but a permanent traffic jam. [Hans Oerlemans, 11.09.1978] |

| 1514 |  | The corner of Saksaganskogo and Krasnoarmeyskaya;
the easily-recognizable building with columns, which used to host
the Farfor-Fayans (porcelain) shop. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 09.1955] |
   | ||
| 1516 |  | Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, next to the Polytechnical
Institute park. A single car, quite untypical for route 23, may be
due to the fact that this route is doomed: the stretch
from Vozduhoflotsky Most to Zavod Bolshevik is scheduled to close
in a few days (1978). [Anatoly Vilkovich, 1978] |
| 1519 |  | Once again, Mechnikova, which is only just beginning
to look like a real street — now that tram tracks have been
laid. Trams ran here for thirty-seven years, from 1951 through 1998. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 1950's] |
