How Usyk reminded the world of the war in London and what Boryviter is about.

The original mosaic was created by monumental artists under the direction of prominent Ukrainian artist Alla Horska. It was completed in the summer of 1967 in Mariupol. Three years later, one of the leaders of the Sixtiers movement was killed by Soviet secret services. In 2022, the mosaic suffered serious damage during Russia's full-scale invasion.
