The mosaic itself was created by Alla Horska, Viktor Zaretsky, Halyna Zubchenko, Borys Plaksiy, Hryhorii Pryshedko, Vasyl Parakhin, and Nadiia Svitlychna to decorate the interior of the restaurant named “Ukraine” in Mariupol in 1967. The sketch is preserved at The Sixtiers Museum in Kyiv. The mosaic “Boryviter”, as well as another mosaic by Alla Horska — “The Tree of Life” — was destroyed by Russians during the military invasion and occupation of Mariupol in 2022.
