Our reader Valery Kryukov (on March 2, 2021) suggested that the photo was taken on the street Bezakivska (Petliura) before the turn of the procession on the street Mariinsko-Blagoveshchenska (Saksagansky). And indeed, the fragment of the three-story house on the left is quite similar to the surviving house, today / Saksagansky str., 135. If so, in place of one-story houses now stands a large house on the street. Petliura № 15. In addition, we see tram tracks on the street and a slight rise of the street from the right edge to the left. The shooting point is the 2nd floor of the house with a modern address / Saksagansky str., 137.
