Prosp. Shevchenka – former monument to Kornel Ujejski

At the time when the monument was erected, there were three zones with greenery in the middle of ul. Akademicka (now prosp. Shevchenka): a round one in the center and two elongated ones. In the middle of the round zone, a monument was placed: a bronze bust of the writer on a high granite pedestal with bronze lyre (a symbol of poets) and broken chains at the foot. The monument was located on the central axis of the Casino building, opposite the main entrance. Facing the boulevard, the monument became a kind of the trademark of the Casino and the Literary and Artistic circle. Initially, a few trees were planted behind the monument, and a flower bed with small bushes was arranged in the front. After the reconstruction of the boulevard in the late 1920s, the monument found itself between two parallel rows of poplars. After these trees were cut down and replaced by rows of spherical maples in the 1990s, the place where the monument had been located cannot be distinguished from its surroundings.
