3-9. September 2021. Ukraine (Україна). I've been to Western Ukraine's city of Lviv (Львів) maybe around 10 times, and usually make an effort to find buildings and areas I haven't visited yet. This time, my focus was more on Soviet architecture.
The Soviet-era structures you'll see on this visit include the Zolochiv Raion (Золочівський район) Marker (a Soviet street relic marking the entrance to the district), Stryiskyi Bus Station (the largest bus station in Western Ukraine), an unfinished auditorium attached to the Lviv Oblast State Tax Administration Building (formerly Regional Committee of the Communist Party), Lviv Circus, the abandoned Palace of Culture, the industrial socialist modernist Free Ukraine Publishing House, the Lviv Bus Factory, the brutalist Center for Culture & Creativity for Children & Youth (formerly Pioneer Palace) in Pohulyanka Park, the abandoned Ukrvino Plant (formerly the Jan Klein Brewery) also in Pohulyanka Park, Novoiavorivsk (Новояворівськ) Raion Marker, Truskavets Pump Station (THE place to go to consume not one, but FOUR healing local springs waters), and a former KGB prison in Drohobych (Дрого́бич).
Let me know what I missed!
And it isn't all Soviet. Took some time to visit some Austrian & Polish buildings, the Bear Sanctuary Domazhyr (still being built), Drogobych's Saint George's Church (one of the 14 UNESCO-listed "Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region in Poland and Ukraine"), Bruno Schulz's house (a Polish Jewish writer who was shot & killed by the Gestapo while walking home). and the huge Gothic Roman Catholic Church of Saint Bartholomew.
Music breaks are interspersed throughout this tour, most notably a concert by the great Ukrainian drummer Igor Hnydyn & American jazz artist Gregory Boyd, and Mozart opera at the Lviv Opera.
