Road Street will take you from Lenin Avenue to the town's limits - the River Lozova and the cemetery.
There are 126 houses in this street.
You will walk past the old colmine's slug heap located just behind the houses with odd numbers up the street.
Unlike some other streets, this one is not very quiet for it is a transport artery from Zorinsk to Chervony Prapor - a village in Perevalsk District.
I went along this street two times during my pilgrimages to the village of Yelenovka.
I noticed a piece of old sidewalk down the street and an old clay quarry at the end of the street.

An unexpected meeting on the way

As I was walking to the village of Yelenovka I saw a shepherd with a dog who had brought several cows for pasture. The dog did not even try to bark at me,
I wondered how those cows managed to walk up and down the hills without falling from them.
One brave cow was on the brink of a deep ravine.
Also, there is not much grass in the town limits, so the cows have to be taken outside the town.

There are seventeen five-storey apartment houses at 40 Years of Victory Block.
You will see them from October Street - the central one in the town.
There are several small shops inside the block and a school.

 Dawn Town - this is how the town's name would sound in English. It was called so in honor of dawn as a symbol of future and hope. In 1963, when the coalminers' settlement was about to get the...
