The Resolution of the Communist Party Central Committee and the USSR Cabinet of Ministers “On elimination of excesses in designing and construction” dated November 5, 1955 was the start of building faceless boxes as we called them, instead of the awe-inspiring architectural gems in the Empire style that were built before and after the war and afterwards were banned by Khrushchov's government.
You can see samples of Khrushchov era apartment houses all over the city. Leave a Comment

 Old "Teacher's House", Kalinin
Street, Rubizhne by hunterV, 4 more photos
It is located in the Old Town at the intersection of Kalinin Street and Academician Pomeranchuke Street. It was built some eighty years ago.
It looks like the repairmen's hands have not touched the building for decades.
I am sorry to say the apartment house seems to be in complete decay.
I keep my finger crossed and hope it will be preserved for the city residents and future generations. Leave a Comment

This is Yuzhnaya would sound in English.
This district is located at the entrance to Rubizhne from Luhansk at Zaria Circle.
Zaria is the biggest chemical factory here. It used to be huge and famous.
Visiting Southern Station you can explore the local cultural hub - Dzerzhninsky Palace of Culture built in 1961 by Zaria chemical factotry.
It still looks nice with its mosaics at the entrance, Dzerzhinsky bust in the entrance hall and its interior.
You can also visit the sports center and the swimming pool here. Leave a Comment

This square is located at the entrance to Dye chemical corporation that was very powerful in Soviet times.
This is the factory where my parents used to work, earned a good pension and are retired now.
The chemical corporation was awarded with the Order of Lenin - the highest order of the Soviet Union - on July 8, 1965. Leave a Comment

Several streets in Rubizhne were named in honor of famous fellow countrymen.
Chernopashchenko Street runs parallel to Embankment Street in the area of the railway station.
It was called in honor of Air Force Captain Vassily Yevgrafovich Chernopashchenko who was born in Rubizhne in 1914.
His childhood dream came true and he became an Air Force officer.
He was a courageous officer who shot down several enemy aircrafts.
He died in an air battle above the Black Sea for the liberation of Crimea on April 2, 1942.
Hi his fellow countrymen remember heroic deed.
A street was called after him and a monument was erected in his honor.
The memorial plaque at the monument reads,The street is called after the resident of Rubizhne
V.E. Chernopashchenko,
a military pilot,
who perished at the front in 1942
the death of a hero Leave a Comment

Another new cathedral has been built in the so-called 7th District in Lenin Street.
It is the biggest church in the city.
It has a very special exterior and interior, too.
It is called Holy Assumption Cathedral
If you wish to see that cathedral, drive along Lenin Street after its crossing with Mendeleyev Street. Leave a Comment

 Chalk cliff of Rubizhne is to
your left by hunterV
It will be to your left after you turn from the main road in Factory Street.
The chalk cliff is located at the territory of the former brick factory and is a wonder of nature.
Certainly it deserves more attention and I feel I have to allow some time for its exploration some day. Leave a Comment

 Old neglected vocational
school buildings by hunterV, 4 more photos
They are mostly in the Old Town and in Pushkin Street.
These are buildings of the former vocational school that was closed several years ago.
Its gym has already been destroyed.
I hate to think that now it's the main buildings' turn.
I still hope there will be some investor or sponsor who could easily turn those old Stalin era buildings into hotels, clubs, stores or what not. Leave a Comment
