Ukraine Seminar Tour - Part Three I

Monday and Tuesday, in the footsteps of Jabotinsky, who was born and educated here, and to where he returned after university studies in Italy and where he ran for the Duma, we toured the city:

At top of Potemkin Steps

Istanbul Park

Duke de Richelieu Statue

Catherine the Great

The Opera where he had his own reserved seat:

The Passage, through which Jabotinsky walked daily to his newspaper's editorial offices:

Note: "On Deribasovskaya, opposite the City Park, stood the Passage, the luxurious symbol 
of the trade of the city, built in 1899. Jabotinsky himself made this trip daily, 
because the Passage was also the center of the press. Here they published 
the dailies of Odessa, including the Odessa News, to which Jabotinsky 
and many other eminent authors were daily contributors."

At the offices of the Eretz-Yisrael Committee

Continued, Part Three II.
