What decade is this again?
This woman is using an abacus.
"Beta" model of the soda machine. For 25 kopiyoks ($0.03) you can get a glass of water or for 50 kopiyoks ($0.06) you can get juice. Just take the glass, turn it upside down and give it a rinse, set it under the nozzle and insert your money.
The contrast of Lviv. Two blocks away is the tree-lined boulevard and Opera House.
This is where the wreckage ends and the nice street begins again.
Ladas Ladas everywhere
Jewish Lviv. The text is in Polish and Yiddish.
The store was opened in 1874
Lada: sport edition
Ladas might be ugly, but they run forever.
Babushkas
A bank in Lviv.
Lviv is frozen in time in many ways.

Rooftop Garden
Park near the medical school
Lviv Medical school. Norway (and maybe other countries) don't have enough slots in their medical schools, so it isn't uncommon for Norwegians to attend medical school in Poland. There aren't enough spots in the Polish schools for the Poles so they attend medical in Ukraine.
Fountain at the Medical school- It's been turned off to save money.
Dormitory for pharmacy students.
Gates of Lychakivske Cemetery
Lychakivske Cemetery- The guard was an expert at spotting locals. He only charged the non-locals to enter.

Lychakivske Cemetery- Tomb of a Bishop
The three nuns were adorable.
Lychakivske Cemetery- Soviet Grave
Lychakivske Cemetery- The memorial to the Bolshevik soldiers
The Ukrainian monument for the Ukrainians that died in the Polish/Bolshevik war from 1918-1920. This was erected next to the Polish burial grounds after numerous failed attempts to remove the graves.
Apparently it wasn't much of a concern that there were already graves next to the Polish memorial.
The Polish memorial to the war.
Memorial for the Polish Soldiers
Most of the soldiers who fought were very young. Some of the graves have boys as young as 14.
A small memorial within the Polish memorial to the American soldiers who died during the war.
For some reason the English words were mortared over.
The stairs at the Polish Memorial
