The monument to the founders of Surgut is a sculptural composition of four figures and is located in the center of the city at the intersection of Lenin Avenue and Ostrovsky Street.

The solemn opening of the monument, dedicated to the founders of Surgut, took place in June 2002. The project was created by architects Professor S. Mikhailov and N. Sokolov, as well as sculptors L. Aristov, M. Tskhadadze, and A. Ivanov. The bronze composition was cast at a foundry in St. Petersburg, requiring 40 tons of bronze for its creation. The height of the composition itself is 6.5 meters, the pedestal is 4 meters, and the total height of the monument reaches about 15 meters.

In bronze, Prince Fyodor Boryatinsky, voivode Vladimir Onichkov (Anichkov), a Cossack carpenter, and an unnamed priest are immortalized. Each of them has a connection to the founding of Surgut. Prince Boryatinsky and voivode Onichkov arrived in Western Siberia by royal decree to establish the city. The unnamed priest symbolizes the spirituality of the Russian people and the Orthodox faith of the settlers, who brought traditions, icons, and books with them to Siberia. The life and traditions of the settlers were closely tied to Orthodoxy.

Surgut, like all of Siberia, did not know serfdom; the local inhabitants were free and determined. Therefore, the composition includes the figure of the Cossack carpenter, reminding us that Siberia was developed by Cossack detachments led by Ataman Yermak, and the city of Surgut was built by carpenters from the Cossacks.

Currently, local authorities plan to expand the monument, returning to the original design of the memorial, which had to be abandoned due to a lack of funds.
