At Biblyka Street, 4, you can see a building in the Constructivist style—School No. 119.

Its history dates back to 1931, when a factory-and-plant apprenticeship school was opened in barracks on the grounds of the KhTZ socialist city, which was then under construction.

In 1933, the vocational school was converted into General Education School No. 80.

By 1935, a new building had been constructed on the first section of the KhTZ settlement; it housed two schools—Russian-language School No. 119 and Ukrainian-language School No. 80. The latter also had “international classes” for foreign students.

During WWII, the school building sustained significant damage—traces of shrapnel can still be seen on its walls.


The full-scale Russian invasion in 2022 left fresh scars on the school walls.
