The housing along the Lybid river.
One can see the traditional one-floor wooden housing typical of
suburbs. The river itself flowed in the so-called trough. A very
interesting thing is the zhygach,
an element due to which water was drained from roofs directly to
ditches. This picture is a rare documentary evidence of the existence
of such elements before vertical drainpipes became widespread.</p><p><i>Olga Martyniuk</i></p>
