Old postcards Lugansk

This website is a true memory archive, where the history of Luhansk in photographs comes to life through a collection of old postcards released between 1945 and 1991. It features various views of Luhansk on postcards, reflecting the atmosphere of the post-war and Soviet-era city — its streets, squares, monuments, and everyday life.

Among the historic photographs of Luhansk, you’ll find iconic locations such as the 1986 bus station, the “Turist” hotel, the House of Technology from 1968, the “Ukraina” cinema, the Glory Memorial Complex “Ostraya Mogila,” and the Pedagogical Institute from 1973. These places have become a part of the city’s heritage and collective memory.

These old photos of Luhansk are more than just images. They are soviet cards that tell the story of how the city looked in the second half of the 20th century. Luhansk — street photos, buildings, parks, and monuments — is presented here in a single collection, helping to preserve the past and pass it on to future generations.
