In March 2012, the city authorities announced a contest for the best sketch idea of the monument famous poet, composer, singer and actor - Vladimir Vysotsky.
In July 2012, among the 15 works admitted to the competition, the professional jury recognized the best project of Viktor Lifshits and Alexander Demchenko. In August 2013, on the avenue of Peter Grigorenko, 2 (the former Avenue of Marshal Zhukov), the grand opening of the memorial sign took place. The opening was attended by the son of Vladimir - Nikita and several hundred Kharkov citizens, for whom the local bards prepared a small concert. This monument is part of the Vertical memorial complex, behind the sculpture is an 18-meter climbing wall - an artificial structure for mountaineering. The chief architect of Kharkov - Sergey Chechelnitsky - notes that the uniqueness of this memorial sign lies precisely in the combination of the monument and the climbing wall, which will make the memory place “alive”, as it will bring together athletes, bards, and simply lovers of Vladimir Vysotsky’s creativity. The monument symbolically depicts events from the life of the bard, known from his texts: birth in a small Moscow communal apartment, work in the Taganka Theater, songwriting. Quatrains from Vysotsky’s songs are placed on a sheet in front of which is the figure of Vladimir Vysotsky. On the same sheet is an image of three horse heads, several images of Vysotsky himself - a sculpture of a boy and the face of an adult Vladimir, climbers descending from the mountains, the Volga.
