Under the communists, the temple was turned into a book depository, and in 1989 it was transferred to the newly formed Greek Catholic parish, in which Salesians of the Byzantine rite serve. Almost the entire parish came running to see the bust of Lenin found in the garage - in Western Ukraine this is now a rarity, you haven’t found such monuments for 15 years. According to the monks, they even wanted to buy the find, but the temple decided otherwise - to use the metal to smelt a small bell.
