Old postcards Nikopol

This section collects view postcards of Nikopol through 1991 — a 1988 set. The photographs show the Dnieper-side city centre, memorials, houses of culture and shopping sites of the late Soviet period.

Subjects include the Bohdan Khmelnytsky monument on Liberation Square, a memorial mark at the 1944 Dnieper crossing site, a memorial complex and a memorial to tube-plant workers who died in the Great Patriotic War. Also shown are an administrative building with the V.I. Lenin monument and the Nikopol Hotel.

Urban frames show the House of Culture of the Yuzhnotrubny plant, the House of Culture of the Lenin plant, a shopping centre, the central department store and the Buratino children’s goods shop.

Dates and captions are useful for collectors and historians of the Dnieper industrial towns. The catalogue is expanded with new views of Nikopol; browse the current cards and compare them with other Ukrainian cities in the Old Postcards archive.
