The monument was installed in 1873 as a sign of deep respect for the Morshans to the Empress. A massive bronze bust was created by the model of sculptor SI Galdberg, a professor at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. The ruler is sealed in a decollete dress, with a ribbon over her shoulder, in an ermine robe, with a laurel wreath on her head. After 1917, when together with the cathedrals, churches and monasteries were actively destroyed and monuments to autocrats, was removed from the pedestal and a bust in Morshansk. However, the organizer of the local museum P. P. Ivanov did not allow sending a bronze monument to the Empress for remelting. Now it is kept in the museum yard .
