Odessa is a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. Dumskaya Square in Odessa is a historic and cultural hub located in front of the Odessa City Hall, a neoclassical building dating back to 1837. The square has long served as a political and civic center, where important municipal decisions and public gatherings take place. As seen on this postcard received in 2016 it also houses the famous monument to Alexander Pushkin, commemorating the poet’s time in Odessa. Does it still today? Is it still called Dumskaya Square? I don’t know. One of the articles I found from 2024 claims the square was to be renamed to Exchange Square.
