Thematic and decorative stained glass windows not only represent the material part of the cultural heritage of Ukraine, but also, according to their own conceptual features, become an integral artistic element of urban architecture. In the 1970s and 1980s, Transcarpathia was dominated by the desire for an author's solution, the search for new compositional forms. This period is marked by the reduction of political pressure on representatives of culture and art, the expansion of the subject of monumental works, its aesthetic significance and the principles of interaction with architecture.

The article lays the basis for consideration and further study of the main features and regularities of the creation of stained glass compositions by Transcarpathian artists.
