Kyiv has always attracted tourists for its architecture, green streets, and picturesque hills above the Dnipro River. To save the memory of their trip, many visitors took photos, including in the 1980s right in the center of the capital.

The old photo was posted in the community "City History 1900-1999. Kyiv" community on Facebook. Now, to capture a moment in your life, you only need to have a phone with a camera.

"The current Independence Square in the 1980s," the post reads.

The published photo shows that the two girls decided to take a photo as a souvenir – they used the services of a local "businessman" to do so. To get the perfect shot, they used a poster with a picture of one of the locations and slots for faces. To make the customers comfortable, they placed ordinary boxes under their feet.

As a reminder, there are many ways to look into the history of Kyiv and see its beauty. In particular, through the paintings of Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Khvostenko-Khvostov, in which he preserved the city's landscapes of the 1950s.

The capital's river Lybid was mentioned in the chronicles of Kyivan Rus in 968. In the 1950s, its channel was not yet hidden by concrete slabs, and a road bridge was built in Vydubychi to allow cars to cross it.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, the Darnytsia railway station in Kyiv was built in the late nineteenth century, which turned the area into a famous vacation spot and summer cottage. The building itself looked like a fairy-tale house thanks to its interior and the surrounding forest.
