Grave of NKVD victims in Lychakiv Cemetery in field no. 82

In Lychakiv Cemetery, in field no. 82, there is a grave of NKVD victims. An undetermined number of people were buried there. A monument erected on this grave commemorates the victims of the terror of the Soviet security organs from 1939-1941, mainly from the period of the liquidation of the NKVD prisons in Lviv in June 1941 (most of the victims of this bestial action are unnamed). The monument, in the form of a tall monument in the shape of a cross, has an inscription in Ukrainian only, dedicated to the victims of the NKVD prison at 1 Lacki St. The inscription reads: "Żertwam masowogo rozstriłu gromadjan Ukraini bilszowickim NKWD / 26 VI 1941 g w tiurmi na Łonckogo 1 / sered nich: Ukrainciw - 205, Poljakiw - 21, Nimciw - 6, Żydiw - 14, Rosijan - 5. Viczna im Pamjat'" [translated into Polish: "To the victims of the mass shooting of Ukrainian citizens by the Bolshevik NKVD on 26 June 1941 in the prison at Łąckiego 1 among them: Ukrainians - 205, Poles - 21, Germans - 6, Jews - 14, Russians - 5"]. The numbers of victims given on the memorial are based on the data contained in archival documents that the creators of the commemoration managed to access.

Next to this monument are three crosses dedicated to unidentified victims from the "Brigidka" prison, murdered by the NKVD in June 1941 just before the Soviets left the city.
