Answering the questions

Inquiring eye can see in Odessa amazing signs that residents are not only theoretically try to comprehend the wisdom of environmental problems solution, but also in practice implement healthier life.
Despite not a sunny weather and a refreshing water temperature (14-150C), some courageous Odessa residents start their day with a sea bathing, taking them directly to the sea waves.
Courageous Odessa residents continued sea bathing in the morning
Public organization “Habitat” does not stand apart from the environmental problems. Traces of that L.G. Melnyk found on the walls of dressing rooms, bored alone on a deserted beach in the French Boulevard.
A leaflet on the wall of a dressing room is strikingly convincing. On the background of the carved in stone Brussels Boy showed off a poem that combined a poetic gift of some indifferent to hygiene Odessa guy with his natural sense of humor
“For THAT a Fairy turned a stupid
Boy to stone
So, it is better not to risk –
Hold on to the toilet!”
Near another leaflet of the same public organization (“Habitat”) is glued
“Is it a nice sea vacation?
Did you pushed trash in the trash bin?”
Let the poetic form of this wall art still retains considerable reserve for improvement, its civic orientation and ecological content does not cause the slightest objection. They go back to those masterpieces that L.G. Melnyk saw in Odessa trams in the 1970s:
“May you go so, as you took the ticket!”
or
“Do not lean out of the window, otherwise you will have a look!…”
or
“Well, lean out one, lean out two .. and then what will you lean out next time?
A three-day meeting with a SSU graduate, economist, former KVN participant Alexey Goncharenko, recently living in Odessa was a reward for their hard work. He showed a new face of the city – Zhvanetsky Boulevard. The Boulevard as if continues the Primorsky Boulevard known for all Odessa inhabitants as “Teschin” (“Mother’s in Law”) pedestrian Bridge.
The entrance to Zhvanetsky Boulevard
The Boulevard Identity is well-suited works character of the great writer named after him. Houses on the Boulevard occupy only one side of it. On the other side there is a Seaside Park overlooking the sea from a height of the Boulevard.
On the Boulevard flaunt two monuments. Each of them deserves special attention, as they focused (each in its own way) experience and humor of many Odessa generations. Boulevard remains wonderfully mystical connection with its old names. Once it was called the “Komsomol” and then either “Art”, or “Arts.” The monument is dedicated to the legendary history of oranges, when adventurous Odessa inhabitants have these overseas fruit to appease uncompromising Emperor Paul I. After such a wonderful gift, he trembled and again granted the town tax benefits, cancelled by him once. Thus, the city was saved from ravage. In its beauty and style the monument is certainly in harmony with one of the former names of the Boulevard, link it to art.

Another monument is extremely brief. This is a bronze plaque, which commemorated Zhvanetsky aphorism: “If you could not prevent, then lead it.” This monument links the Boulevard with its former Young Communist League slogan, as it is viewed continuity with Komsomol favorite motto of many generations: “If you can not prevent drunkenness, you must lead it!”
Aphorism of the great classic
However, on the Boulevard there is a third monument. It is the very bronze plaque with its name …
