Vyacheslav Klykov, the monument's author, told RIA Novosti that the site for the monument on the Angara's bank would be approved soon and the necessary formalities fulfilled.
The prosecutor's office required this after it had forbidden installing the monument without permission and sent police to the construction site.
"I am content to have found a compromise," the sculptor told RIA Novosti. Especially as the monument was conceived as an expression of the reconciliation idea. It is symbolic that it will be opened on November 4, Kolchak's birthday, not long before the Day of Concord and Reconciliation, Klykov added.
According to him, it is logical to have this monument opened in Irkutsk, a city which saw Kolchak both as the White Army commander and an explorer of the North. In 1919, he issued here a decree opening the Irkutsk University.
Kolchak, executed in 1920, spent his last hours in Irkutsk, too. "Kolchak's cell" has been preserved in the local prison, where an exhibition will be opened soon.
