| 511 |  | 511, still in the manufacturer's livery, on Prospekt Pobedy (this block
was formerly part of Bulvar Shevchenko; one can still see the actual boulevard).
The trolleybus is on route 9, which at that time connected the downtown area with the Zhulyany airport;
this particular vehichle is on a short run to the depot, as evidenced by a small sign behind the windshield.
In the background one can see a monument dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the 1945 Victory and the Lybed Hotel.

| 512 |  | The trolleybus is on Ul. Teligi, bound for Metro Petrovka, on route 27.
Seen above the greenery are the domes of the St Cyril church, dating back to XII century
(rebuilt in the XVIIIth century). [Aare Olander, 17.06.2002] |

| 513 |  | A viaduct carrying Ulitsa Tolstogo over a side railroad line bypassing the
main railway station. The trolleybus is on route 3 from Dvorets Sporta to Solomenka.
Up until June 2001, the same line was served by tram route 5.
In the background is the neighborhood of Pankovschina, sometimes referred to as the Quartier Latin of Kiev:
a hundred years ago, it was mostly inhabited by professors and students of the nearby University.
The patch greenery is the University Botanical Garden, with the domes of the St Vladimir Cathedral above.

The trolleybus is approaching the Metro Lybedskaya stop at the start of its trip to Kibernetichesky Centr
(route 2). The MAZes normally seen here are near Dvorets Sporta, where the Eurovision contest is being held,
whereas routes 2 and 4 are being temporarily served out of Depot No. 3.

A YuMZ-T2 carrying a Samsung advertisement is approaching the terminus of route 8,
followed by a 14Tr in the manufacturer's livery.
Trolley wire was removed here in 2001 during underground construction, forcing a cutback of routes 8 and 17,
and restored as late as in September 2008. [Aare Olander, 16.06.1998] |

| 516 |  | Ulitsa Saksaganskogo. Tram tracks in the middle of the roadway are still in place,
but utilized only as a service line, for Shevchenko Depot pull-in and pull-out trips.
A few months later, the depot will be moved to the suburb of Borschagovka, and the tram tracks lifted.
The trolleybus is serving the already-familiar route 3, from downtown to Solomenka,
approaching the intersection with Pankovskaya. [Stefan Mashkevich, 06.06.2005] |

Again, YuMZ-T2s are substituting for MAZes here on the Goloseev lines.
This trolleybus is leaving the Vystavochny Centr stop, on route 4 from Metro Lybedskaya towards the
Teremki 2 residential area. In the background is the intersection of Prospekt Glushkova and
Vasilkovskaya Ulitsa. [Anton, 21.05.2005] |

| 518 |  | This YuMZ-T2 is within its usual areal, on Bulvar Shevchenko, next to the Schors Monument.
The route is 17, from Pervomaysky Massiv towards Tereschenkovskaya.
In the far background one can see the Ministry of Transportation and Communication skyscraper
near Vozduhoflotsky Most; on the left, the University Botanical Garden. [Stefan Mashkevich, 06.06.2005] |

| 519 |  | Trolleybus route 14 assumed its present configuration, from the Academy of Sciences
Botanical Garden in Pechersk towards Vokzal (main railway station) via Ulitsa Saksaganskogo, in 2002.
That was when it came to be partially served by Depot No. 3 and the YuMZes.
This photo was taken at the intersection of Saksaganskogo and Krasnoarmeyskaya. The building on the right
was erected in 1966 for the top Communist Party bosses, on the spot where the circus building formerly stood. [Anton, 20.07.2004] |

| 520 |  | Industrialnaya Ulitsa, near the intersection with Lebedeva-Kumacha and Nizhneklyuchevaya.
The trolleybus is on route 21, from Metro Shulyavskaya to Kadetsky Gaj, a new neighborhood of Chokolovka
built for the demobilized servicemen from the former USSR Western Group of Armies, which was located
in Eastern Europe. The route was put into circulation in 1995 and has remained almost unchanged to this day,
except that it is a rush hour-only service since January 2009.
