Rubizhne Local Custom Tips by hunterV

This nice festival traditionally takes place on the first weekend in September every year.
It has been observed since 1981.
The program of the festival includes a truck procession when the local amateur actors show family scenes from boards of the trucks that drive slowly along the main street.
You can also enjoy the gala concert, kids' city exhibition and the fireworks display that starts at about 9 p.m.
The fireworks display team works from the roof of the City Council building and the display lasts for about ten minutes.

The Family Day, a traditional holiday in September, includes such "yard holidays", too.
The residents of apartment houses or streets gather together like this singing songs, playing games or just talking.
Such things only happen once a year...

Those shashlyks (shish kebabs) are a regular dish at our festivals and family holidays in the open. Our men are fond of cooking them.
These guys from a private enterprise ("Eldorado Club") cooked lots of pork shashlyks during the city festival that enjoyed great popularity among the guests of the festival.

A lot of city residents have or had datchas.
They are a good place to stay in the open, to grow your own vegetables and fruit.
This is my parents’ datcha located on the northern outskirts of the city.
The Datcha district was formed in 1978 and my parents have had their datcha since that time. I also helped them to build a small cottage in 1979.
They grow different vegetables there: potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, paprika, pepper, etc.
They also have several fruit-trees.
Best of all I like their big and delicious apples!

They don't take place very often.
This one was on the City Day in September.
Another one is on Chemical Workers Day on the last Sunday in May.
The fireworks displays usually take place at about 9 p.m.

Like in many towns and cities in the former Soviet Union countries, there are memorial plaques in the city dedicated to outstanding people who used to live and work in the city or who took part in its lkiberation during the war.
This memorial plaque is at the building if Ukrcommunebank at 1 Doichev Street.
The plaque says the street was called in honor of lieutenant Vadim Doichev (1923-1945), Hero of the Soviet Union.
The street connects former Palace Square with Smirnov Street (former School Street).

There is a memorial plaque at School #1 saying that it was the rist school in the town.

Another memorial plaque:
On December 21, 1919 the Red Army units liberated the station of Rubizhne from the White Guards

---

Another memorial plaque:
On January 31, 1943 the Soviet Army units liberated the town of Rubizhne from the German fascist invaders

I likes the words at the monument to Liberators in Liberators Street:
Your courage was unparalleled,
your will was unbending,
your feat of arms is immortal

There is a nice refurbished dance ground in the City Park located at the background of the ruins of the old Conference Center built in 1934.

---

The conference center "had no master" as we sometimes say and was "processed" by the local hooligans to the present appaling state.
I do feel sorry for that for that "Palace of Culture", as we call it, is closely connected with my childood memories. I used to be a reader of the library there...

If you feel like dancing, you can go to that dance ground in a warm season in fine weather.
There is another opportunity for dancing, if you visit the city conference center (Kirov Palace of Culture) located opposite the city council. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays there are dances beginning at 8.30 p.m. The ad says they are at the young people's club called "Web". The entrance fee is 50 cent.
