"Photo of the 1950s from my collection. The author is unknown. The shot was probably taken from St. Volodymyr's Hill. Spring flooding of the Dnipro River was a common thing at the time, and Trukhaniv Island is partially underwater. On the left, the route of the Petrivskyi railway bridge crosses the Dnipro and Desenka. Moskvich-type boats are running along the river. Their advertisement at the time read: "A boat trip during the spring flood is of particular interest," the author writes.
