Festivals of amateur activities became traditional here.
They take place in spring and in autumn at the local leisure center called officially Dzerzhinsky Palace of Culture.
But the audience does not sit in the main hall.
The hall is beyond repair, so the concerts and shows take place in the foyer where the space is limited.

Favorite thing: If you get off at Zaria Circle, you will see a subway leading from Yuzhnaya to the factory area.
This is the only subway in Rubizhne.
It was built for the factory workers to arrive to work in time and safely and to keep them from waiting until the busy traffic stops.
In Soviet times we did not have the traffic rule about pedestrians having the privilege when crossing the street. This unusual privilege appeared only recently. The drivers are getting used to giving pedestrians priority and so are we, pedestrians. Of course there is still some mistrust on our, pedestrians' part and we have to be careful when crossing the street, like in the good old days...
