“It’s a picture of third-year students of the Faculty of Engineering and Economics of the Odessa Technological Institute of Food Industry OTIFP (now Odessa National Academy of Food Technologies) on Gamarnyka Street (now Seminarska Street). From left to right: Tetiana Kulykova, Valentyna Tsymbal, Olha Bielousova, Larysa Horchynska, Valentyna Kychynska.
Everyone here is dressed differently. They all had different incomes and different capabilities. They all were dependable from their parents. Probably, the differences between the regions from which we came also had an influence: Tetiana Kulykova - from Vinnytsia, Valentyna Tsymbal - from Zolotonosha, Cherkasy region, Olha Bielousova - from Poltava, Larysa Horchynska - from Cherkasy, Valentyna Kychynska - from Kherson region.
I haven't had time to change my winter coat to a demi-season one yet. My winter coat from the Kharkiv garment factory was purchased at the Central Department Store in Cherkasy. Valia Kychynska holds one of the typical briefcases of that era.”
