Stalin, in 1946, an expedition was even sent to Kyiv, led by archaeologist and anthropologist M.M. Gerasimov, with the goal of finding the remains of Yuri Dolgoruky. According to Stalin's idea, during the anniversary celebrations there should have been a solemn reburial of the prince's ashes. However, the expedition was unsuccessful; when studying the “official” burial place of the prince that still exists today, it turned out that it was false. Also in September 1946, a competition was held for the best design of the monument. Despite the fact that the best Soviet sculptors (including Vera Mukhina) took part in the competition, S. M. Orlov’s project was declared the winner. For him in the same year the sculptor was awarded the Stalin Prize

For general information In 1991, an unusual monument to Peter I by sculptor M.M. was erected in the Peter and Paul Fortress. Shemyakina. The monument caused a mixed reaction from the public. The emperor is depicted sitting in a hard bronze chair, with his hands on the armrests. The pedestal under the figure is small; it only defines the area occupied by the sculpture and is not high.
