Around the monument on the lower pedestal a bas-relief depicting peasants - representatives of the peoples of the empire in national costumes, among which stood the figure of a woman in a Russian suit symbolizing Russia. The central pedestal was decorated with the emblem of the Russian Empire - a two-headed eagle - and with the inscription: "The grateful Southwest region to the liberating Tsar. 1911 ".
