Formation of the Street
Smals-Stotskoho Street is located in the Frankivskyi district of Lviv. Its history begins in the late 19th century, when philanthropist Antoni Bilinski purchased a large plot of land between what are now Smals-Stotskoho, Heroiv UPA, Fedkovycha, and Horodotska streets, following the liquidation of the Horodotskyi cemetery. He intended to build a charitable medical institution. In 1892, the newly established street was named after the benefactor’s family — the Bilinskis. During the German occupation, it was renamed Speerstrasse, and in 1944 it became Belinsky Street, in honor of the Russian literary critic. Only in 1992 was the Ukrainian name restored — Smals-Stotskoho, in honor of the linguist and ethnographer Stepan Smal-Stotsky.
