About collection
The photographs capture the first stages of the construction of the city of Komsomolsk (renamed Horishni Plavni in 2016) and the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant, as well as the people who built Horishni Plavni from the ground up.
This exhibition of unique historical photographs immerses visitors in the atmosphere of the romantic early tent settlements, showcasing the construction of the first residential neighborhoods, schools, and industrial giants. These archival images serve as a living chronicle of the labor achievements of the city’s pioneers, vividly documenting the stages of development and the cultural growth of our urban community.
