The memorial stone is located at the bottom of this barrow with inscribed phrase: "To the Don Cossacks" (Russian: Казакам Тихого Дона).

Сommoners like to call the monument to Grigiry Melechov, who is main character in the epic novel And Quiet Flows the Don.

A miniature of the monument of 0.70 m height was named "A bugler" (Russian: Трубач), then it was renamed "Eaglet" and "In the Don steppe".

It was bought by the Ministry of Culture of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and was exhibited in Art museum of Kharkiv.

First Secretary Rostov oblast committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union I. Bondarenko offered to mould the monument and to raise it in the north driveway near Rostov-on-Don.
