Some of them look like paintings.
OMG Ukraine look remarkable beautiful compared to Russia which is polluted and backward
Just what I was thinking… either paintings, or heavily touched-up and hand-tinted monochrome shots.
1st
Nice postcard
I think they’re B+W pictures that were then painted.
Pawell ia the last reincornation of the Miss India troll?
Nice photos. Little did they know what was about to happen to them.
It would be interesting to compare photos to modern view from same locations.

“Ukraine its a fake country .
Its territories was almost always part of (…) Lithuania …”
Ask your parents about globe of USSR ha ha ha !
Ukraine was independent in 1917-1920.
Ukraine its a fake country .
Its territories was almost always part of Poland , Lithuania , Russia or Roumania .
They claim to be Rthenians just like the bielorusians but no one heard of Ukraine history in the middle ages because its a fake country .
.. you forgot turks and tatars. thats why ukrainians got so many people with dark black hair.
the word ukraine is derived from okraina which translates to “periphery” or “margin” or (my favorite) outskirts!
their language is not a real language either, the civilized people in the big cities of ukraine always used to speak russian, and the peasants in the villages spoke some messed up dialect which was different from village to village.
Ahh, the minarets and the Muslim style in some buildings make sense now.
“their language is not a real language either”
thats not true! dont talk about what you dont know!people speak ukrainian in some big cities, and learn ukrainian in schools.
Ukraine isnt a fake country!
“…the civilized people in the big cities of ukraine always used to speak russian…”
It’s naturally: in all times invaders lived in the cities. And natives – in the country.
And then the communist came and ta-daaaaa apartment blocks for the working class bla bla bla
Ukraine: Home of the great Revolutionary, Nestor Makhno!
Crimea= Khrushchev’s folly; Jewish Crimea=Molotov’s downfall
Nice pictures. Interesting to know at least certain areas had telephones and electricity at that time.
Just think communism destroyed all of that beauty and culture with murder and starvation now Ukraine is free from Russian domination any hopefully for ever as Ukraine is a sovereign nation and still want do have close ties to the Russian federation and the world .
Communism didn’t do it. Stalin, Kaganovich, Molotov, Beria, et. al. did it.
