[2] The monument, which made in Vuchetich's workshop, was originally intended to be delivered to Volgograd and to be dedicated to Bolshekiks' victory in the Battle of Tsaritsyn.

[4][5][6] Monument to the 1st Cavalry Army, installed in front of the building of Party's Regional Executive Committee, was inaugurated on 30 April 1972.

[1] In 1996, at the request of the local Cossacks, a memorial board with the text "Constructed to commemorate the liberation of Rostov-on-the-Don from whiteguard gangs in 1920" was removed from the monument.

[5] Another reason for jokes is the sculpture of sailor who throws a grenade towards the office of the President's Representative in the Southern Federal District.
