Heavy traffic on Oleksandrivsky (now<br />

Volodymyrsky) Uzviz in winter. Horsed carts are coming up heavily;<br />

there are many people on the sidewalk; an electric tram is running.<br />

The photo may have been taken on a day when an active commerce was<br />

carried on at the Contracts Fair. On the left, a structure known<br />

under the name of the Palestinian Filter can be seen, which<br />

functioned as a water tower and was situated in the “Palestinian<br />

gorge.” Above on the left, there is the monument to St. Volodymyr;<br />

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