Professor Gennady Turmov, rector of the Far Eastern State Technical University and member of the Primorye territorial legislature, suggested building this monument.
"Architect Yury Likhansky drew this monument," Turmov said. The design was completed by the Far Eastern Naval R&D Institute.
"This will be a rectangular obelisk adorned with a globe symbolizing our planet," Turmov said.
Each side of the obelisk will feature the inscription "To the victims of the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese war" in Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. About 600,000 Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean nationals died in that war.
Four stairs leading to the monument will link up at its base. The natural-stone top will feature a quotation by famous Russian admiral Stepan Makarov "Remember the War".
"The monument will symbolize reconciliation. The remains of Russian and Japanese sailors buried on both sides of the Sea of Japan are to be placed inside its base," Turmov said.
The Vladivostok city administration will finance the project.
