In 2016, a monument was unveiled in Kerch to the outstanding Russian military leader and statesman, commander of the Russian Army and leader of the White movement, Baron Peter Nikolayevich Wrangel. This is the first monument to Wrangel in Russia; previously, monuments to him had been erected in Serbia and Lithuania.

The monument is located on the grounds of the Church of St. Andrew the First-Called. The funds for its construction were raised through patrons and public donations, totaling over 220,000 rubles.

The monument is designed in an original form: it is a stele, with a bas-relief of Baron Wrangel on the front side, and St. George the Victorious on the back. The upper part of the monument is adorned with a dome topped with an Orthodox cross, and at the bottom are memorial plaques.

The front plaque features the words of the baron: "I want only one thing from you: loyalty to our Motherland and, according to that, service to it until the end, service that is not party-based, but patriotic and national, preserving honor, but not pursuing personal ambition. Baron Wrangel." Following this is a text about the achievements of the Commander-in-Chief: "Under the leadership of P.N. Wrangel, in November 1920, 145,693 people were evacuated from Crimea on 126 ships and a number of small transports, not counting the ship crews. About 43,000 people were evacuated from Kerch." All inscriptions are made according to the rules of pre-revolutionary grammar.

The back plaque reads: "As the liberator of captives, and protector of the poor, healer of the weak, champion of kings, victorious one, great martyr George, pray to Christ God, Savior of our souls. This monument is authored by A.V. Klykov, established in 2016 by the blessing of His Eminence Platon, Metropolitan of Feodosia and Kerch."

The decision to erect a monument to Wrangel in Kerch is not accidental, as the Crimean period is an important part of the history of the White movement. For seven months, Baron Wrangel governed Crimea, and during this time, despite the military conditions, he managed to complete Stolypin's reforms, distribute land to peasants, and achieve many successes. At that time, Crimea was the only region that not only did not suffer from hunger but also exported grain abroad. Peter Nikolayevich's military achievements were also significant, but his tragedy lay in the lack of manpower and absence of help from allies, which doomed Crimea.

Only after the successful evacuation of the army and the onset of Red terror in Crimea did the residents fully realize the significance of Wrangel. They often recalled the living conditions under him and said: "It was good under Wrangel, there was bread under Wrangel, salaries were paid under Wrangel." These words were true: the salary of an ordinary worker was high and often exceeded that of an officer of the Russian Army. For many years, his name was tarnished, but in our time it is gradually being cleared of lies and is being restored in full.
