The monument to the first printer Ivan Fedorov, <br />

author of the first Ukrainian printed books, was built and officially <br />

opened on November 26, 1977. The figure of the printer, which stands on a<br />

rectangleof dark cobblestone- is quite an untraditional artistic <br />

rendering for that time. The authors of the project were Lviv sculptors <br />

Valentyn Borysenko and Valentyn Podolskyi, the architectural planning <br />

was done by architect Anatoliy Konsulov. The monument was placed on a <br />

square, which was created after the reordering of the square at the foot<br />

of the Korniakto tower, between the entrances to the Uspenska church <br />

and the government archives of Lviv region, and the streets Pidval’na <br />

and Ruska. The backdrop is one of the most interesting sacral structures<br />

in Lviv- the Dominican church of the Divine Body, where in Soviet times<br />

the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism was located (now the <br />

Museum of the History of Religion).
