521Ulitsa Eleny Teligi, which passes by the sadly famous Babi Yar, ends here in the historical neighborhood of Kurenevka. The trolleybus on route 27 is passing the intersection with Ulitsa Frunze. Above the trees of Kirillovskaya Roscha in the background is the top of the TV tower in Syrets.

522In 2001‒2008, routes 8 and 17 were cut back to a temporary terminus at Tereschenkovskaya, two blocks short of their present-day terminus at Ploschad Tolstogo. Here, No. 522 is turning from Tereschenkovskaya Ulitsa onto Ulitsa Tolstogo, having just departed towards Chokolovka on route 8.

523The trolleybus is on route 21, passing Sevastopolskaya Ploschad on its way to Kadetsky Gai. The alignment of the route in question has changed in 2001, as the square was rebuilt: a new automobile underpass connected Chokolovsky Bulvar and Krasnozvezdny Prospekt. Before said reconstruction, the route took Vozduhoflotsky Prospekt and Vinnitskaya Ulitsa; in its present shape, it turns onto Ulitsa Narodnogo Opolcheniya, as depicted here.

524Route 3 was inaugurated in August 2001 as a replacement of tram route 5, connecting Dvorets Sporta and Solomenka, which was shut down some three months earlier. During the first few years of its existence, until 2005, it was realigned a few times in this particular area. This picture pertains to the period when it followed Esplanadnaya Ulitsa in both directions, and its turning loop was forward from this place, on Basseynaya, near Aleksandrovskaya Bolnitsa (hospital). Nowadays, all traffic here is in the opposite direction only.

525One more photo from the Eurovision-2005 series, when the new MAZes were busy near Dvorets Sporta, and the older YuMZes were temporarily reassigned to the Goloseev routes. Here, 525 on route 2 is crossing Demievsky Puteprovod (viaduct), having just left the Metro Lybedskaya inner terminus.

526The already-familiar Ulitsa Dovzhenko, near Trolleybus Depot No. 2, at the stop bearing the same name. The trolleybus in the manufacturer's livery is on route 27, from Petrovka towards Otradny. Behind the trolleybus is a KAvZ-653 truck, intended for use on rural routes.

527The Karavaevy Dachi suburban train stop, in the direction of Chokolovka. The trolleybus is serving route 22, bound for the airport in Zhulyany. Stuck in traffic in the opposite direction is an articulated Ikarus-280 bus, on route 17 from Demievka to Shulyavka. A year later, the thoroughfare and the viaduct here will undergo a reconstruction, and the bus route in question will be replaced with trolleybus route 42.

528The intersection of Ernsta and Pulyuya, in the new neighborhood of Kadetsky Gai, populated in the 1990s. The trolleybus is turning from the former street onto the latter, before making its final dash to the Kadetsky Gai terminus, just to the left of the frame.

529The already-familiar Ulitsa Saksaganskogo. The trolleybus is on route 3 from Solomenka to Dvorets Sporta. The greenish building on the opposite side of the street is Secondary School No. 21, erected in the 1930s on the spot where the Blagoveschenskaya (Annunciation) church formerly stood. One can still see the tram tracks in the middle of the street — those are still in use, but only for the Shevchenko Depot pullin and pullout trips. Two years later, said depot will be relocated to Yuzhnaya Borschagovka, and the death sentence to this tram line will be carried out.
[Stefan Mashkevich, 03.09.2003]
530The same route 3 running in the opposite direction, towards Solomenka, and in a different spot — the beginning of Ulitsa Uritskogo. Here the tram tracks were removed almost immediately following the suspension of service, in summer 2001. In the far background there is a railway embankment and two locomotives near the railway depot entrance.
