The first monument to A. Kolchak in Russia was put up in 2004. The monument was erected near the Cathedral of the Holy Sign, not far from the Angara River and the spot where the admiral was executed by shooting on the 7th of February 1920. A five-metre-high figure of Alexander Kolchak with an overcoat slipped over his shoulders rises on a seven-metre-high pedestal. The front bas-relief of the monument represents two twin brothers (a Red Army soldier and a White Guardist) crossing their rifles and turning them down in token of termination of the fratricidal war.
