The whole history of Odessa is for those who are constantly running somewhere and who never have free time. continuation

This feed of History is about city holidays, solemn events, festivals, perhaps even about parades. As people had different ideas at various times not only about the holidays, but also about the ways of celebrating them. continuation

Many people believe that Odessa is the city of Mishka Yaponchik, a criminal eulogized in folklore. Alas, that’s not true. Criminality in Odessa has always been just criminality. continuation

Swiss artist Gerry Hofstetter created projections on the facades of Odessa's most iconic buildings!
How cool was that! Swiss artist Gerry Hofstetter created projections on the facades of Odessa's most iconic buildings! Not only did he light up the Opera House, the Railway Station, the Bank, the House of Rus, the Ukrainian Theatre and the Art Museum, but he did it as part of such an important art project as "Light is hope". It was done in honour of the anniversary of the beginning of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine, and thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, the State Agency of Ukraine for Art and Art Education, and the Embassy of Switzerland in Kiev, the whole project was able to see the light. It was incredible! more
