Formation of the Street
Olena Stepanivna Street is located in the Zaliznychnyi district of Lviv. It stretches from Knyaz Sviatoslav Square to Zaliznychna Street, intersecting with Brativ Mikhnovskykh Street.
The street was laid out in 1895 and was initially named Kordetskoho, in honor of the abbot of the monastery in Jasna Góra, who defended it against Swedish forces. In 1946, it was renamed Leningradska, and since 1991, it has borne the name of Olena Stepanivna — a prominent Ukrainian public and political figure, and the world’s first female officer.
The architecture of the street reflects various historical periods: classicism, Viennese Secession, Polish constructivism of the 1930s, and Soviet constructivism of the 1960s. There is also industrial development from the 1960s–1970s.
