One of the photos depicts Pavlo Alioshyn in a group with others. It is not known when the architect visited Bilohorodka, but his interest in ancient monuments witnessed with lots of documents. The ancient city of Belgorod (Kyiv suburb) in the early XXth century was one of the most important objects of archaeological research. The interest in it appeared thanks to Vincent Khvoika’s excavations that started in 1909.

The archaeological excavations had the considerable resonance in the society that is why Kyiv department of IMHC organized the trips there. Pavlo Alioshin was one of the participants of those trips. His expressive quality photos served as illustrations for the descriptions of the excavations and were preserved in the contemporary press and some brochures. In addition, the pre-revolutionary album the archival case contains 17 more black and white unsigned and undated photographs taken in the late 1920's–in the 1930's. They show some area outside the city, the bases of buildings but they are not related to Bilhorodka. The attribution of these photographs is still promising. The analysed P. Alioshyn’s photo album is the essential visual source to the reconstruction of the first excavations in the chronicle of Belgorod and demonstrates a significant public interest in archaeological research in the early XXth century.
