Mykhailo Rozhko began studying the Tustan fortress in 1971. At first he searched for information in libraries and archives, later he took photographs, sketches and architectural measurements of traces on the rocks. And in 1978, he organized regular historical and ethnographic expeditions and archeological excavations in Tustan and Urich, in which the Lviv intelligentsia actively participated.
In 1982, the Carpathian Architectural and Archaeological Expedition of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine was established on the initiative of Mykhailo Rozhko. It allowed launching a systematic study of the unique monument complex. In addition to conducting field research on an unknown page of Ukrainian history, expeditions began to serve as an informal club of national-patriotic education. Scholars, graduate students, students and just enthusiasts of history and archaeology considered it an honour to join Rozhko’s team. For many of them, working in Tustan determined their future.
