The author of the monument is the Soviet sculptor Evgeny Viktorovich Vuchetich. The monument in Serpukhov is a model, on the basis of which the bronze monument to the Liberator Soldier was cast, located in Berlin's Treptower Park and is a world symbol of the victory over fascism. It is a figure of a Soviet soldier with a lowered sword and a rescued little girl in his arms. Evgeny Vuchetich placed in the soldier's hand a detailed reproduction of the sword of Gabriel, the Pskov prince who was a comrade-in-arms of Alexander Nevsky in the battle with the German knights of the Teutonic Order on Lake Peipus.
The monument was donated to Serpukhov by the will of E. V. Vuchetich, was initially installed on the territory of the Serpukhov Museum and traveled around the Soviet Union and abroad as part of traveling exhibitions, visiting Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Romania. After returning to Serpukhov in 1964, the monument was placed on the territory of the N. A. Semashko Hospital
