The sculpture of the last Transcarpathian opryshk (participant of the peasant insurgent movement) Mykola Shugai was installed by Mykhailo Kolodko on January 31, 2015 on the railing of one of the oldest coffee shops Uzhgorod “Under the castle”, address: 3 Ivan Olbrakhta Street (GPS: 48.620629, 22.303882).
The real name of this Transcarpathian Robin Hood is Mykola Petrovych Syugai (Sugai in Czech). His romantic biography became the basis for the creation in 1933 of the novel “Mykola Shugai, the Robber” by the famous Czech writer Ivan Olbracht.
