The left part of the postcard features the monument to M.V. Frunze, erected on a massive pedestal. The monument is set amidst lush park greenery with well-maintained flowerbeds.

Historical note
The monument to Mikhail Vasilyevich Frunze, a revolutionary and Red Army commander, was erected in Evpatoria in 1965 in the park that also bears his name. The 1982 postcard captures its appearance nearly two decades after its installation, when the park had already become an important part of the city’s infrastructure. The location was chosen deliberately: Frunze played a key role in the liberation of Crimea during the Civil War.
Present day
Currently, the M.V. Frunze monument continues to be one of Evpatoria’s architectural landmarks. Frunze Park remains a popular leisure spot for residents and tourists, although its appearance and the surrounding development have undergone changes in line with modern trends.
