It is about the name "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic".

About this reported the Lviv city council. While the city is testing the method of removing such inscriptions. 

"It is not advisable to dismantle the cast-iron guard boards of the old model, which are located at the monuments of cultural heritage, because they are strong and properly indicate the status of the building. Their style was developed in the 1970s on the basis of fonts and ornaments developed by the outstanding Ukrainian graphic artist Heorhiy Narbut. The only inscription subject to decommunization is the inscription "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic". We are currently testing the method of removing these inscriptions and will make a final decision," said the Department for the Protection of the Historical Environment of the LMR.
