Russian Cultural Centre

Russian Cultural Centre, Cultural center in Lviv, Ukraine

The Russian Cultural Centre occupied a building at 1a Korolenko Street, next to the St. George Church compound. Franciscan monks built it in 1932–1934 to a design by architect Wawrzyniec Dayczak, and it long served as a cinema. From 2018 the premises housed the Warrior's House, a centre for veterans of the war in Donbas.

The Pushkin Society received the former Franciscan monastery cinema building at 1a Korolenko Street from the Lviv city council in October 1990. The small hall opened in April 1994 and the large hall in 1996, the date treated as the start of regular activity. The first director was Sergey Sokurov. In October 2016 the regional council evicted the centre, and in 2018 the building became the Warrior's House.

The center displays Russian literature, films, and music through exhibitions, workshops, and performances held throughout the year. It functions as a meeting space for people interested in exploring Russian cultural expressions.

The centre no longer occupies the building at Korolenko Street 1a: it was evicted on 4 May 2017 after the Lviv Regional Council's decision of 25 October 2016. Since 13 October 2018 the premises house the "Warrior's House" for veterans of the war in Donbas, which displays uniforms from King Danylo's era to the present. Visitors should plan around that institution, not the former cultural centre.

The building at Korolenko 1a was constructed in 1932–1934 by Franciscan monks to the design of architect Wawrzyniec Dayczak and long served as a cinema before the Pushkin Society received it in autumn 1990. From May 4, 2017, the premises housed the "Warrior's House" centre for veterans of the war in Donbas.
