Pushkinskaya Street (Пушкинская)
This street was once known as Italyanskaya Street
(Italian). It was so named because many artists and
architects from Italy lived on the street. In Pushkin
wrote:
The tongue of Golden Italy
Rings out on this gay street
In 1880 it was renamed after Pushkin.

Yellow brick road on Pushkinskaya Street (Пушкинская)
Intersection of Lanzjeronovskaya (Ланжероновская)
At the beginning of the Pushkinskaya Street, in front
of the Archeological Museum
This small section of street is paved with a peculiar
light golden stone. It is made from clay and remains
in a furnace until vitrified (turned into a glassy
substance). It is incredibly wear and frost resistant.
The original plan was to pave three streets with this
stone. This small section of the road was laid with
this stone in 1913, but the beginning of World War
One prevented further work.

Next to the yellow brick road and in front of the
maritime museum, is a strange monument to the 10th
anniversary of Ukraine's independence. This monument
once had the following golden words below a Ukrainian
trident and above the white columns:
24-08-1991 to 24-08-2001
10 years of Ukrainian independence
Since then these words have been removed, either
stolen or taken down by the authorities because of
embarrassment.
