In April 2016 in the city of Rostov-on-Don took place a popular vote during which it was necessary to choose the best model. In the future the monument to the Communication workers of Don will be created on the basis of it. On the first place there was a model which was created by the staff of the branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Radio Frequency Center of the Central Federal District". Valentin Kostev was chosen as a sculptor. The monument was built on the voluntary contributions of the city residents and donations received from patrons. The place for the installation of the monument was chosen as a platform in front of the entrance to the Nikolai Ostrovsky Recreation Park, on the crossing of the 14th line and Sholokhov avenue.
