Кривой рог / Krivoy Roh
Пару дней назад я запостила фотки. Это был Кривой рог. Очень странный город. Это главное впечатление. Очень большой и какой-то пустынный, как-будто заброшенный. Скучный снаружи и (слишком) яркий, даже вызывающий внутри. Я хотела, как обычно, побродить по городу и свежим неместным взглядом отыскать для себя изюминки. Но это оказалось не так просто. :-) иррационально (не для людей) организованное пространство, слишком индустриальное... район от района на расстоянии километра, а между ними разбитая дорога, лесок, пустырь. огромные расстояния, не для пешеходов, но однозначно и не для авто, тряска на дорогах еще та. Окружная дорога, проходящая практически через средину города. Отсутствие достопримечательностей и скептическое настроение местных жителей к предположению их наличия (к моему предложению поехать посмотреть на ЮГОК или Криворожсталь). Город запомнится мне как город противоположностей. Ночной город прекрасен... встречает гостей задолго до прибытия на станцию и очень долго провожает после отъезда.
Few days ago I posted some photos of a city. That was Krivoy Roh, which is a city in central Ukraine well known for its length. Actually that's the longest city in Europe and one of the logest in the world. It's length is about 130 km. Hovewer this city looks somewhat abandoned with population only 600 000 people and not well developed infrastructure. Different districts are separated from each other with roads (often quite destroyed), forests or wastelands. The first thing I discovered when I arrived is that there were no usual sightseeings and local people were not very initiative about my tourist attempts. Actually the city looks quite sad with soviet architecture and abandoned lands between districts. Hovewer definitely it has its own spirit. It appeared to be very strange city for me - irrational and too much industrial, huge and abandoned, with sad architecture and hospitable people, grey outside and bright (too much) inside. The city of contratsts.
