Since Soviet times, the editorial office of the newspaper "Cherkaskyi Kray" (formerly "Cherkaska Pravda") has been located here, where the famous sixties poet Vasyl Symonenko, who was killed by the Soviet special services in 1963 for his active human rights activities, worked here.

In 1998, a museum room was opened for the poet's birthday. The exhibition "Vasyl Symonenko's Office" recreates the atmosphere of those times: a table, a chair, a radio, a table lamp, an inkwell, a pen, a typewriter, which were used by the young journalist.
