  • The Public Space and the Revival of Multicultural Identity in the City of Lviv
    ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES Vol. 2, No. 2, 2016 Bohdan Cherkes, Svitlana Linda THE PUBLIC SPACE AND THE REVIVAL OF MULTICULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE CITY OF LVIV Lviv Polytechnic National University, 12, S. Bandery str., Lviv, 79013, Ukraine, [email protected], [email protected] Received: January 09, 2017 / Revised: March 07, 2017 / Accepted:March 9, 2017 © Cherkes B., Linda S., 2016 Abstract. Models of architectural representation of multiculturalism related to the revival of historical myths about the “Polish” and “Jewish” Lviv are presented in this article. Key words: Lviv, multiculturalism, identity. 1. Introduction Lviv is a city with a multicultural phenomenon created throughout the centuries by different nationalities. Multiculturalism experienced several development periods through which it underwent drastic changes due to wars and geopolitical transformations or because of assimilation processes. The twentieth century was especially turbulent and it left us several important myths. They can serve as the defining points for modern multicultural development of the city of Lviv. The myths of “Polish” and “Jewish” Lviv appeared during the interwar period (till 1939) when the population of Lviv consisted of three dominant ethnic groups, i.e., Poles, Jews and Ukrainians. After World War II, Lviv lost its historic multiculturalism: the Jews were killed by the Nazi, the Polish had to move from the country or were deported. The major part of the Ukrainian native population was repressed. In 1950s, it was the time when Lviv became almost a Russian city with a clear industrial and military development vector. It was the period of a strong ethnical transformation and an aggressive development of the new Soviet identity.

And the O.A.T. Italy’s Western Coast & Islands: A Voyage from Rome to Valletta itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: I love to eat in Italy (who doesn’t?) and nothing compares to the fresh ingredients of the Aeolian Islands. You’ll see what I mean when you sit down with the owners of a small-scale caper farm for a farm-fresh lunch. First, you’ll spend A Day in the Life of this farm located on the island of Salina, where you’ll have a chance to get to know your hosts and come to learn the history of their farm. Then, you’ll learn about their organic and traditional farming practices during a stroll through their gardens followed by a savory lunch. After witnessing the beauty of Italy and its people, it saddens me to hear about darker chapters enmeshed in this vibrant culture. You’ll hear them, too, when you meet meet with survivor and advocate Francesco Zanardian to discuss how the Vatican and the Italian authorities have handled the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse scandal.
