In May, 1970 a Monument to the War Glory of the Soviet Army (in World

War II) was unveiled in the upper part of the Bohdan Khmelnytskyi

Central Park of Culture, at the intersection of Stryiska and Hvardiyska

streets. The monumental complex was constructed by a group of sculptors,

including sculptors Dmytro Krvavych, Emanuyil Mysko, and Yaroslav

Motyka, painter Oleksandr Pyrozhkov, and architects Myron Vendzylovych

and Apolon Ohranovych.After the return of the Soviet authority, the

street was again renamed Pershoho travnia, later to be renamed Lenina

(“Lenin”) Boulevard. In 1991 the Lviv City Council of National Deputies

renamed the street Svobody (“Liberty”) Boulevard.
