History
In 1957 it was celebrated the 400th anniversary of Bashkiria's voluntary entry into the Russian Empire. In the same year, June 14, the monument was laid on the site which was a marble slab with the inscription:
«There will be erected a monument in memory of the 400th anniversary of Bashkiria's voluntary accession to the Russian State»

However, even the design of the monument began only after 4 years, and its opening was only August 7, 1965.
