Vul. Lychakivska – monument to the Soviet tankmen (does not exist)

A monument to the Soviet tankmen was installed in 1945 on the main highway leading to the city from its eastern outskirts. It consisted of an IS-2 tank (IS = Joseph Stalin) standing on a high pedestal with the inscription "Eternal Glory to the Heroes of the Guard Tankmen of the Army led by colonel-general Leliushenko, who fell in the battles for freedom and independence of the Great Soviet Fatherland" and a list of the names of the tankmen, who fell in the battle for Lviv in 1944.

The monument was a typical example of the Soviet marking of the public space with military symbols;  monuments like this one were established in many cities of the Soviet Union.

The tank was removed in the early 1990s; several years later, the pedestal was dismantled.

The project was designed by V. Afanasiev, an artist and architect.
