The mass grave of Russian journalists, also known as the Monument or Memorial to Russian Journalists, is located at the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv. This monument is dedicated to notable Galician-Russian writers and journalists and was created based on the tomb of public figure Osip Monchalovsky. Since 1908, new burials have been added to the tomb. The last one took place in 1979, and in total, the ashes of 14 Galician-Russian public figures rest here.
After the death of Osip Monchalovsky in 1906, a tomb was erected for him at Lychakiv Cemetery, where he was buried. Over time, the tomb became the resting place for other Galician-Russian writers and journalists. In 1908, Bohdan Deditsky was buried here, in 1909, Volodymyr Lutsyk, in 1911, Ivan Protsyk, in 1913, Orest Avykovsky, in 1914, Ivan Pelekh, and in 1916, Klavdiya Alexeyevich.
In the 1930s, the tomb was supplemented with new burials. In 1933, Hryhoriy Maltz was buried here, in 1935, Boris Lelyavsky and Marian Hlushkevych. The last burials occurred in the 1960s and 1970s: in 1965, Semyon Bendasyuk, in 1970, Vasyl Vavryk, in 1971, Roman Myrovych, and in 1979, Vsevolod Trush.
