Dnipropetrovsk is a major industrial city in the Ukraine. During the Soviet era, it was one of the main centers for nuclear arms, military equipment and space exploration. It is the home of the ballistic missile manufacturer, Yuzhmash. Due to the sensitive nature of its industries, Dnipropetrovsk was a closed city until the 1990s.

Today Dnipropetrovsk is a modern industrialized city. It still suffers the effects of the Soviet industrial erra with factories that emit high levels of pollution, resulting in environmental degradation. A visit to Dnipropetrovsk provides a glimpse of the grim life in the Ukraine.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
