translation for an address?
Hello, I'm new here. I have a girlfriend I've been writing to for a long while now, in the parts of Ukraine where Russian is more prevalent.
We've been conversing mostly in English, so my familiarity with Russian seems to be slipping abit. I've tried to learn alittle Ukrainian, thinking that being in Ukraine she'd naturally favor the language, but recently she has told me she favors Russian. Alas, back to square one. :D
It's her birthday, so I will need to send her something. I've heard stories about things not reaching destinations if written in English, or English alone, so I need to translate her mailing address into Russian. I can't seem to get this across to her, that I need a form I can see, so that I may write it. I think when she wants to use Russian to me, she types it in a font my browser won't let me see properly.
I'm getting better reading the cyrillic, but it doesn't help if I can't see the letters to read them. :|
So, can someone please translate this address for me into Russian? Preferable in a font I can see the cyrillic with.

Spasibo! You could well be saving a birthday surprise! :D

Anyway, there should not be any trouble. I receive ordinary mail to my address written with Latin alphabet usually.

What happened to the "34" after Nikolaev?

That's post office number. While useful a while ago (before the USSR post switched to 6-digit zip codes), it's not of much use these days; as you can see, the last two digits of the zip code match it exactly.
Looks like Ukraine has switched to 5-digit zip codes since then, so everything seems to be all right.
