Young modelers from all over Ukraine presented many different scale models. Tanks, airplanes, cars, ships. Everything is made of different materials (paper, plastic and, even, matches). Dioramas of military events aroused special interest.

Trip to Lviv Поездка во Львов
Lviv is a very cozy city full of sights. I advise everyone to go there. In the central part of the city there are many ancient buildings, churches, museums. Among the cafes, the most famous "Kryivka", which means shelter. It is underground and was originally used by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. This was a period of struggle against the punitive organs of the USSR. In my opinion, "Kryivka" is not only a cafe, but also a museum. There are full of weapons of the times of the Second World War, objects of military life, etc. It's so easy not to get there, you need a password. At the entrance there is a person in the form and asks for the password, it is necessary to answer: "Glory to Ukrainians!". At the end of the video, I filmed the entrance there.

Above sea level Над уровнем моря
In addition to parachuting, I'm interested in mountain climbing. This hobby has appeared after viewing of a film "Everest". I wanted to rise in winter to the highest mountain in Ukraine - Hoverla (2061 m). Friends liked this idea, too, they decided to go with me.
We have purchased the most necessary equipment: tracking sticks, ice hoods and thermal underwear. I used to have experience in orienteering on the terrain and I was sure that I could take us to the top.
Goverla is located in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, near the border with Rumunia. The ascent began in the morning, from the sports base "Zaroslyak". This is a relatively safe place, here the lowest probability of avalanches. The weather was clear. At an altitude of 1500 m, the alpine climate and the wind zone began. There we met a group that could not get up because it was poorly equipped. Then the sky was clouded, the top was no longer visible. The visibility was of 30 m and the wind about 80 km / h. Everyone stayed together, so as not to lose anyone, we walked slowly but surely. After 4 hours from the beginning of the ascent, we reached the top. By the cross that stood there, I determined that the thickness of the snow cover is about 3 m. It is a pity that there was poor visibility, and we did not see all the beauty of the Ukrainian Carpathians. I really want to repeat this, but in good weather and in winter.
