"Privoz" market and its history
"Privoz" market has become a symbol of the heart of Odessa. In 1827, there was a land allocation for people to trade by means of carts and carts. The name of the market itself appeared from the effective representatives who worked there. Another important part of the market, the pavilions built in 1917 and called "Fruit Passage", served their own purposes. Also, "Privoz" market existed as the most important gastronomic and cultural center of Odessa, introducing the trade of all national groups, Jews, Russians, Tatars and others.
Air strikes that led to the disaster
As a result of the attacks of the Russian army, many parts of the Privoz market, which belonged to the full-fledged individuals, were captured and partially weakened. The Fruit Passage building was partially destroyed. A fire broke out in the trading pavilions, but the system was quickly extinguished.

The London Hotel (the first hotel in Odessa, opened in 1846), the Zolotarev House (which has the status of an architectural monument), and the Vorontsovsky Palace were among the damaged buildings. However, the damage to these buildings is not as serious as that of the Privoz pavilions.
