 Georgy Zhukov memorial
plaque, Ostrovidov Street by hunterV
They commemorate people who used to live and to work there.
This is one of them.
It is located in Ostrovidov Street and dedicated to Georgy Zhukov (1896 – 1974), Marshall of the Soviet Union, who used to live and to serve in Odessa from June 13, 1946 till December 1947 as the Commander-in-Chief of Odessa Military District. That was a kind of exile for him for he had been the Commander-in-Chief of the Land Forces of the Soviet Union since March 1946 and then suddenly fell into Stalin’s disgrace and was urgently sent to Odessa: out of sight, out of mind…
He resumed his leadership as the Commander-in-Chief of the Land Forces of the Soviet Union only after Stalin’s death in March 1953 and had to resign finally in 1957.
Marshall Zhukov is considered to be Russia’s most talented general after Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov who died in 1801. Leave a Comment

 Belgorod-Dniestrovsky, Odessa
region by hunterV
The knights have imitation armor made carefully after ancient samples of the 12th and 13th century.
The tournament is officially called
Open Championship of Odessa Region in Historic Fencing,
although in practice this competition is All-Ukrainian for there are participants from all over Ukraine here. Besides, “knights” from neighboring Moldova and Russian also take part in it.
There are several nominations for participants:
Sword-Sword
and Shield-Sword.
The jury is very strict and checks not only the “authentic look” of the knight, but also his technical fighting.
The spectacular event takes place at the old fortress located on the outskirts of that southern city. Leave a Comment

I remember visiting Uspenskaya Cathedral (Holy (Assumption Cathedral) located at 70 Preobrazhenskaya (Transfiguration) Street.
It is not far from the railway station.
The cathedral is quite old. It was dedicated in 1869.
The Orthodox people call it "a temple". It has five domes and a high belfry.
The main relic of the Assumption Cathedral is the wonder-working icon of the Most Holy Mother of God of Caspersk.
This icon is known to have saved the city from complete destruction during the Crimean War in October 1855.
The cathedral dean is Fr. Agaphangel, Metropolitan of Odessa and Ismail. Leave a Comment

Vylkovo is crisscrossed by narrow cannals (therefore comparison with Venice), where you can walk among small, picturesque houses or take a bout tour and observe how people of Vylkovo are living. The feeling is like time stooped here.

The Black Sea Hollywood - this is how Odessa Film Studio is often called.
It was founded in 1919 and is now one of the three Ukrainian film studios.
Lots of famous films have been created by this studio.
It's located in French Boulevard.
If you want to see the building, take tram #5 from the railway station in the direction of Arcadia sanatorium and Russia hotel. (10 minutes' ride by tram) or just take a taxi ($3-$5). Leave a Comment

Because of the numerous magnificent buildings, the Primorsky boulevard is in Odessa kicks it the more beautiful and largely free of automotive circulation. Northbound, it begins with the ruins of the palace of summer of the Count Woronzow. Woronzow was of 1823 until 1844 governor of Russia of the South and also had beautiful palaces in other places, for example in Crimea.
The small, but very fine, Londonskaya hotel and the palace of the sailors hold the half of the south of the Primorsky boulevard. It ends, to the south, on the Puschkin place in front of the palace of the government of the city.. Leave a Comment
