On the eve of the Day of People’s Union celebrated on October 4 a memorial plate in honour of Admiral Alexander Kolchak, a leader of the White movement and a legendary Polar explorer, will be set up in Moscow.

The memorial plate is made of granite, with a portrait of Admiral Kolchak carved on it. The opening is timed to the birthday of Kolchak on November 4.
