Dnipropetrovsk and Karl Marx Street

Karl Marx Street: Traffic hums as usual down Karl Marx Street, the main thoroughfare lined with cafes serving cappuccinos and macarons and boutiques selling Italian clothing, according to The Star. Dnipropetrovsk is a firewall of pro-government sentiment in a restive region, and local officials aim to keep it that way and The battlefields of eastern Ukraine are barely 160 kilometres from this city, but there is no visible sign of the militant separatism that has roiled neighbouring regions. The colours of the Ukrainian flag are on display as blue and yellow bunting is wrapped around a fence encircling the main government building. The flag itself is on conspicuous display from cars, balconies and rooftops. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
