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.
