I was in kremenhuk in June this year. I have a look at the photos to see if I can see places I remember. I broke a pedal on my bike and got a replacement one at the market. One photo showed the bank I went into to change money to lower values. Because I don’t speak Russian I had to use sign language. The lady laughed once she knew what I wanted and she game me 10 20’s for my 200.
One thing I remembered was a sprinkler in the main street. It was a sunflower on a pipe and the water pressure that
made it move around. I have never seen one like it before.
I spent some time by the river near a bus station. Men were fishing from concrete wharf.
I will keep looking at the photos.
All the best
Graham

Hello Bernie,
Well don’t be dissapointed, there are some great girls in Ukraine !
I met my girlfriend on the internet and I can tell you she was real ! I went to kremenchug to meet her, and then she came to France later on.
But I also met scammers on the internet... Just make sure never to send money ! Visit some sites about scammers and they will tell you how to recognize them and discourage them. And keep the faith, because Ukraine is a beautiful country, and there are there some very interesting and clever girls !

Poddergiway Elenu,kotoraya predlogila wstretitsja biwshim kremenchuzhanam,progiwayshim w Izraile..Esli o takoy dogoworennosti uge idet rech,budu rad prisoedinitsja..

Dear Bernie,

Apparently you are not the only one going through that situation, I have seen here messages from others warning on this matter. But not because of that you may judge everybody else. I can assure you that the people from Ukraine are very friendly and ladies in kremenchug are very beautiful and very smarts. Before you make your way through meeting ladies on the Internet you should visit websites that warn about scams and fakes sites on the net and get yourself enough information on this matter. kremenchug is a lovely place. Perhaps you can make a trip there and then you could meet the real people in the streets. A number of airlines fly from Europe to Kiev. You could look that up on the Internet as well as hotels and travel details for kremenchug. Wish you the best of luck on your search.

Regards,

Roberto.

hello to all the inhabitants of kremenciuc, are much content that exists this situated one, ringrazio very the persons who have created it. Why I must hide that to mè my city lacks, excused if I write in English but now I do not have a keyboard that concurs me to write with cirillico alphabet, I have read letters of the friends who write; left please to be the name of our roads, thoughts to of the important things piu, as an example: our roads are not ugly for their name, must vergognarci of these fatiscenti kiosks, these palaces ruin to you with ascensori that do not work like if we lived in a various age, why our title
s them of study; after much hard work ours and of our families in order to obtain them, is not worth in front of the world, in Europe as an example is not considers you, why asks it our president? Thoughts to these things, we want to go ahead but it is not possible, must make something. Otherwise all the intelligent persons scappano from this our beautiful earth, in Portugal 35000 Ukraini are immigrate and how many to you in Germany, Israel, Italy. As an example A.Wevcenko-chalciatore has made the Milan famous and l ’ Italy and instead the Ukraina is famous only for Cernobil. Why our fields are full of grain and our paste makes schifo while here in Italy nearly the grain fields do not exist and the paste is the piu good of the world? PENSATECI, THOUGHTS To THESE THINGS, a boy UKRANINO who tries living in the world feels these things, these differences. WE GROW UKRAINI WE ARE INTELLINGENTI LIKE ALL....

А если можно вид улицы 60 лет Октября в районе кафе "Cказка" Заранее благодарен!{O.o}

МОЛОДЕЦ, Влад (1218)! "Поддержам" и "одобрям"!!!

Хочется надеяться, что устами Влада выражено мнение большинства НАСТОЯЩИХ Кременчужан, то ли живущих в Кремне, то ли "временно" отсутствующих!
Почему временно? А потому что практически в каждом письме сквозит ностальгия и тоска за темя днями, когда можно было пройтись по Ленинской, или Пролетарской, или Первомайской... Ведь вам всем хочется вернуться назад! Поэтому-то вы и просите сделать фотки одного района или другого! А названия....... Да какая бы она ни была, а это наша история! Мы ее знаем, и наши дети тоже должны знать!
Кстати, если говорить о переименовании улиц, то спросите у жителей Занасыпи, насколько им нравится переименованная улица "Н.Кучмы"??? (даже если Н.Кучма не имеет никакого отношения к нашему президенту).

My grandfather, Hirsch Taibel, died in kremenchuk during the First World War from injuries which he sustained while in the Russian Army. He was buried in 1917 in the Jewish Cemetery of the town. Does the cemetery still exist and what is the condition of the graves? Is it possible to identify the gravestones from that period of WW1? I would be grateful to receive a reply.

Hello kremenchug.
I shall be visiting your city from 27/12 until 6/1. I am staying with friends but I will have spare time whilst they are at work. I would be interested to meet anyone who would like to exchange information, culture, history etc. perhaps someone who wishes to improve their English language skills. I certainly need to increase my knowledge of Russian as my understanding of Russian is very poor. Or perhaps someone who would simply like the company of an interesting and amusing English businessman who would like to see more of kremenchug.
I look forward to hewaring from you.
Kind regards,
Nicholas.
