   Mezhirov - a very interesting village. In the center, next to next to each other are the church, a church and a synagogue. As you can see from the photos, the church and the synagogue have a little habitable ... Not far from the synagogue - the ruins of the Soviet-era store. Its entrance is facing towards the wild thickets, and to the main street it is located almost backwards. We have long thought, but logically decipher the master plan and could not. The answer to the riddle of the geographical told us a local resident - is, in place before these bushes was the central street Mezhirova, and the store went straight at her.
