1501A 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]
1505The 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]
1506Route 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.

1508Ulitsa 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.

1511Ulitsa 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.

1512Going 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]
1514The 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]
1516Brest-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]
1519Once 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.
