Heavy traffic on Oleksandrivsky (now

Volodymyrsky) Uzviz in winter. Horsed carts are coming up heavily;

there are many people on the sidewalk; an electric tram is running.

The photo may have been taken on a day when an active commerce was

carried on at the Contracts Fair. On the left, a structure known

under the name of the Palestinian Filter can be seen, which

functioned as a water tower and was situated in the “Palestinian

gorge.” Above on the left, there is the monument to St. Volodymyr;

the wide Dnieper river is seen in the distance.</p><p><i>Olga Martyniuk</i></p>
