Memorial Plaque in the City of Truskavets

The city of Truskavets is located in the Lviv Region, on the slopes of the Carpathians. It is known as a resort city, primarily for its mineral waters. Currently, there are no Armenian monuments here, and historical sources contain little information about the presence of Armenians. The only mention related to Armenians is preserved on a memorial plaque installed on the wall of the mineral water pump room. It is dedicated to the Armenian chemist and pharmacist Teodoros Torosevich (1789, Stanislav — 1876, Lviv), who researched the mineral waters of Truskavets and discovered their healing properties.
The book Truskavets Mineral Waters highly praises the role of this prominent scientist in studying the mineral waters of Ukraine. In 1812, Teodoros Torosevich graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Vienna. For his scientific activities and discoveries, he was awarded numerous honors and distinctions. He spent the last years of his life in Lviv, where he passed away at the age of 86.
In 1989, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Teodoros Torosevich was solemnly celebrated.
In Lviv, a pharmacy-museum founded by him is still in operation, serving as a reminder of the scientist’s contribution to the development of pharmacy and medicine.
A memorial plaque featuring a portrait sculpture of Theodoros Torosevich is installed on the wall of the mineral water pump room in Truskavets. It bears an inscription in Russian: “To Teodor Torosiewicz, the primary researcher of the therapeutic mineral waters of the Truskavets resort, on the 150th anniversary of the resort’s founding. 1827–1977.” (Divan, 548).
