<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>
