The 'Exodus' monument, dedicated to the tragic events of the Civil War in Russia, is one of the newest attractions in Novorossiysk. It was opened on April 12, 2013, on the city embankment, where nearly a century ago the remnants of the White Army along with refugees were leaving the country. These events, known as the 'Novorossiysk catastrophe', became a tragedy, as it was planned to evacuate more than 50,000 people from the port, but due to a lack of ships, only 33,000 were able to be evacuated.

Under pressure from the Red Army, the remnants of the Whites along with civilians were forced to hastily leave their homeland. These events became a tragic page in the history of Russia, and the 'Exodus' monument serves as a reminder of the importance of national unity.

Sculptor Alexander Suvorov from Novorossiysk created the monument, inspired by scenes from the Soviet film 'Two Comrades Served', where the character played by Vladimir Vysotsky, a White Army officer, is forced to shoot his battle horse that rushed after a departing ship.

The monument is located on a picturesque embankment overlooking the Black Sea, where one can always enjoy the beauty of nature. The sculpture depicts a White Army soldier with a loyal horse, and the officer resembles Vladimir Vysotsky in the role of Lieutenant Brusentsov. The height of the monument, including the pedestal, is 7 meters. This is the second monument dedicated to the Civil War in Kuban.

To the left of the sculpture is a memorial plaque listing the military units of the armed forces of Southern Russia that evacuated to Crimea and abroad.

Nearby is another plaque with quotes from eyewitnesses of those events, General A. I. Denikin and Colonel A. V. Turkul, as well as a poem by V. Chizhov that conveys all the pain of that time.

Notably, the memories of A. V. Turkul, engraved on the memorial, caused public resonance, as he was an accomplice of the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. The creators of the monument explain this by stating that they aimed not to rewrite history, but to convey the tragic atmosphere of the events through the words of eyewitnesses.
