Before the 1973 statue, a monument to Volkov was planned for decades. By the start of World War I, the city council and the Russian Theatre Society had raised over 18,000 rubles, but the city council and the provincial archival commission argued over the design, and the money stayed in their accounts. Two plaster models that won first and second prize in the 1910 competition are kept in the Volkov Theatre museum.
