Ternopil Lake
Ternopil Lake (Ukrainian: Тернопільський став, known as Komsomol Lake before 1992) is a man-made lake in Ternopil, Ukraine. It was created in 1548 by Jan Amor Tarnowski as one link in a chain of fortifications encircling his residence, the Tarnopol Castle. In the 16th century the lake stretched for 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) up to the high dam carrying the Lwów Highway.
The lake, formerly renowned for its fisheries, had silted up by the mid-20th century and was further damaged during the Second World War. It was reconstructed and expanded in 1952 to include a network of marshes bordering the Seret River. There is an old Soviet motor ship still operating on the lake. A local version of the Jet d'Eau was inaugurated in 1975.

Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1015 the Lavra has been a preeminent center of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint-Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Potemkin Stairs
The Potemkin Stairs (Ukrainian: Потьомкінські сходи, Pot’omkins’ki Skhоdy), is a giant stairway in Odessa, Ukraine. The stairs are considered a formal entrance into the city from the direction of the sea and are the best known symbol of Odessa.
The top step is 12.5 meters (41 ft) wide, and the lowest step is 21.7 meters (70.8 ft) wide. The staircase is 27 meters high, and extends for 142 meters, but it gives the illusion of greater length.
In 1837, the decision was made to build a "monstrous staircase", which was constructed between 1837 and 1841. An English engineer named Upton constructed the stairs. Upton had fled Britain while on bail for forgery.[9] Greenish-grey sandstone from the extreme northeastern Italian town of Trieste (at the time it was an Austrian town) was shipped in.
As erosion destroyed the stairs, in 1933 the sandstone was replaced by rose-grey granite from the Boh area, and the landings were covered with asphalt. Eight steps were lost under the sand when the port was being extended, reducing the number of stairs to 192, with ten landings.

The steps were made famous in Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 silent film The Battleship Potemkin.
On the left side of the stairs, a funicular was built in 1906 to transport people up instead of walking.[citation needed] After 50 years of operation, the funicular was outdated and was later replaced by an escalator built in 1970. The escalator broke in the 1990s, the money for its repair was stolen,[citation needed] but it was replaced with a new funicular in 2004.[10]
After the Soviet revolution, in 1955 the Primorsky Stairs were renamed Potemkin Stairs to honor the 50th anniversary of the Battleship Potemkin uprising. After Ukrainian independence, like many streets in Odessa, the Potemkin Stairs name was returned to their original name, Primorsky Stairs.

Was built for the money of Gerasim and Andrey Kondratiev - the first Sumy colonels
The original form of the church was lost, so the modern look church had received due to the restoration work in 1970th.
This church has 2 (two) floors and a great basement with the tonnel to the river Psel.
During the Soviet period of history it was used as storehouse and then as a museum. Now it is the orthodox church.
The fact: it seems the church was used as a fortress - it has 1,5 m. width of walls, deep windows.
