The memorial complex dedicated to General Lavr Kornilov was opened on the outskirts of Krasnodar on April 13, 2013, the anniversary of his death. Kornilov's death in 1918 in the Kuban capital left a disgraceful mark in the city's history.

The monument was created by sculptors Alan Kornaev, known for capturing the spirit of the people in his works, and Valery Pchelin, the author of several sculptures in Krasnodar, including "Dog's Capital."

The three-meter bronze figure, commemorating General Kornilov, is installed near the Kuban River, next to a small house where he spent his last hours. The monument was consecrated by the spiritual leader of the Ekaterinodar department and the Ekaterinodar district Cossack society, the rector of the Holy Protection Church, Archpriest Father Ioann (Garmash).

On April 13, 1918, during an artillery shelling of the headquarters on Kalinina Street, General Lavr Kornilov was fatally wounded. He was 47 years old.

Lieutenant General Denikin, who succeeded Kornilov as Commander-in-Chief of the Volunteer Army, later wrote in "Essays on the Russian Turmoil" that only one grenade hit the house, and it killed only Kornilov while he was in the room. This event is shrouded in mystical mystery.

Kornilov's death predetermined the outcome of the battle. He was buried 50 versts north of Ekaterinodar. The next day, Red Army soldiers dug up Kornilov's body and brought it to the Gubkina Hotel, where the commanders of the Reds were staying. The "Krasnodar Notebook" reported on how the deceased's body was mocked in the article "The Grand Hotel of Madame Gubkina witnessed the disgraceful history of Krasnodar."
