1321A rather rare sight, an MTV on the left bank of the Dnieper. The three tracks are here because the highway is being widened, with tram tracks being moved leftwards, closer to the Rusanovka channel. During the next widening, a quarter of a century later, these tracks will be removed altogether...
[Hans Oerlemans, 1970]
1323Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, at the Garmatnaya stop. Apart from a Skoda 9Tr trolleybus, the classical Soviet cars of the time have made it into the picture: a Zhiguli (known in the West as Lada) and a Zaporozhets 968.
[Hans Oerlemans, 10.09.1978]
1327Entering the Zavod Bolshevik loop. There used to be a pair of tracks going directly towards us, to Vozduhoflotsky Most and Ploschad Pobedy. Those are no more; this is most probably the year 1982.
[Anatoly Vilkovich, 1980's]
1329At the Kontraktovaya Ploschad loop, accompanied by an old wooden Kh+M train. The time is five minutes before noon...
[Raymond De Groote, Jr., 12.07.1959]
1330Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, near the Voentorg store. Among the convoy of car trucks there is a cousin of the MTV, an MTB-82 trolleybus; moving in the opposite direction is an old LAZ bus.

1333At the Geroev Dnepra terminus, with the brand-new 16-storey apartment blocks of Obolon. The metro had not reached here yet when the picture was taken, and trams were still the main mode of transportation; therefore, they ran quite frequently.
[Aare Olander, 22.05.1981]
1336Konstantinovskaya Ulitsa in the Podol neighborhood, still paved with cobblestone. In the background is car 1023, a uniquely rebuilt old Pullman.
[Wolfgang Schreiner, 10.1959]
1340The car is leaving Ploschad Stalina (Evropeyskaya) and heading up towards Pechersk. Visible behind is Ulitsa Geroev Revolyutsii (Trehsvyatitelskaya), a catholic church, and, on the right, the building of the Evropeyskaya Hotel, which was turn down when the Lenin museum was built here.
