"City Nicknames" Starobil's'k Local Custom Tip by hunterV

Like in many towns and cities, many city districts have their own colloquial names here such as

Zayerok (“Behind the Ravine”);
Svoboda (“Freedom”);
Bugorok (“Little Mound”);
Sotyi (“The 100th”);
Hollywood
Zhe Deh
(railway station area and that of Sandy Lake)
For example, nobody calls the well-known monument to the First Starobilsk partisan detachment by its official name. Many people have a vague idea or none at all of what the monument dedicated to, but a lot of people simply call it saldat s mabilkay, that is, a soldier with a mobile phone :-)
You can see a box (with bullets?) on the solder's belt and that soldier's box reminds you of a modern mobile phone holder. Thus its people's name.
