The monument was built in honor of the pioneer hunter and his tame lynx. The monument is the very embodiment of history. According to one of the urban legends, in ancient times, pilgrims sailed along the Sozh River. As they approached the shores of the earth, their boats ran aground. Then people started shouting to each other: "Ho! Stranded!" Since then, it is believed that the city was named that way. Of course, today it is impossible to say for sure that every citizen of Gomel is a descendant of those very boatmen who came from other lands. But a wonderful legend lives in the hearts of residents and therefore the work of Vyacheslav Dolgov is very popular with all residents.

This graceful composition of the towering image of a man standing in a boat and floating to the shore above the shore attracts hundreds of tourists a year. Although this sculpture is very popular, it has not deteriorated at all over the years since its construction in Lunacharsky Park. Of all the monuments, this one can be noted, since it is the symbol of the entire city.
