Old postcards Zaporozhye

This website is a true journey into the past through old photographs of Zaporizhzhia. It features views of Zaporizhzhia on old postcards and Soviet cards issued between 1945 and 1991. The history of Zaporizhzhia in photographs comes alive through carefully selected scenes: Zaporizhzhia — street views, houses, parks, squares, monuments, and iconic buildings.

These images capture old Zaporizhzhia in photographs as remembered by generations: the Hlinka Concert Hall (1957), the circus and Hotel Zaporizhzhia (1984), and the high-rise buildings on Transportna Square (1969). Rare glimpses of nature and leisure also stand out — for example, the Druzhba recreation center (1985) or the view of Stog rock (1985).

These old photos of Zaporizhzhia document not just architecture, but the spirit of the time. They are truly historical photographs of Zaporizhzhia, offering a vivid sense of the city’s mid-20th-century atmosphere.
