Description

<div class="value">The monument to the first printer Ivan Fedorov,

author of the first Ukrainian printed books, was built and officially

opened on November 26, 1977. The figure of the printer, which stands on a

rectangleof dark cobblestone- is quite an untraditional artistic

rendering for that time. The authors of the project were Lviv sculptors

Valentyn Borysenko and Valentyn Podolskyi, the architectural planning

was done by architect Anatoliy Konsulov. The monument was placed on a

square, which was created after the reordering of the square at the foot

of the Korniakto tower, between the entrances to the Uspenska church

and the government archives of Lviv region, and the streets Pidval’na

and Ruska. The backdrop is one of the most interesting sacral structures

in Lviv- the Dominican church of the Divine Body, where in Soviet times

the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism was located (now the

Museum of the History of Religion).</div>
